SFC Aaron Thompson

Aaron C. Thompson serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit of the Department of the Army, supporting expeditionary and garrisoned military operations through the acquisition of critical non-combat logistical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining personnel readiness and quality of life, including lodging, transportation, sanitation, food services, and facility support. His work ensures operational continuity for deployed and rotational forces by securing essential infrastructure and services under FAR-based acquisition frameworks, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to meet dynamic operational demands. Thompson maintains relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large-scale service providers and specialized small businesses capable of delivering complex, geographically dispersed support solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven capabilities in facility operations, institutional logistics, and modular infrastructure deployment. He frequently engages contractors with experience in rapid deployment environments and those holding relevant certifications for federal compliance and performance standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with approximately 80.7% of awards issued as unrestricted solicitations. However, he actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion, consistently allocating 16.1% of contract opportunities to total small business set-asides and 3.2% to HUBZone-certified firms, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation under FAR Part 19. His approach balances operational urgency with statutory mandates to foster equitable economic opportunity across the defense supply base. Thompson’s primary industry focus centers on NAICS codes 561790 (other services to buildings and dwellings) and 561990 (all other support services), reflecting his specialization in facility maintenance, sanitation, and logistical support. He also procures institutional furniture (337127), prefabricated metal structures (332311), and bottled water (312112), indicating expertise in both durable goods and consumable supply chains critical to garrison and field operations. His technical domain expertise lies in integrating scalable, sustainment-focused solutions that meet military standards for durability, mobility, and rapid deployment.
