SSG Keith L. McDougal

Keith L. McDougal serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Army’s 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining military infrastructure across U.S. garrisons and overseas installations. Responsible for managing complex facility and equipment contracts, McDougal ensures operational readiness through the procurement of specialized construction services, industrial machinery, and mission-critical logistics infrastructure. His work directly supports the resilience of airfields, utilities, and building systems in high-priority European and deployed environments, aligning with the Army’s broader mission to maintain functional, secure, and mission-ready installations. McDougal maintains consistent contracting relationships with major industrial contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in heavy equipment servicing and specialized manufacturing. His procurement patterns indicate a reliance on experienced prime contractors capable of delivering integrated facility support, industrial maintenance, and technical equipment supply—often under time-sensitive operational constraints. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability rather than frequent vendor rotation. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 9.1% of contracts are reserved for SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), indicating a minimal but deliberate inclusion of targeted small business participation where specific capabilities align with mission needs. McDougal’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 333924 for industrial truck and material handling machinery, alongside 238990 for specialty trade contracting and 238140 for masonry services. He frequently procures heavy-duty vehicle components, computer peripheral equipment, and integrated facility systems, demonstrating deep expertise in logistics infrastructure, industrial maintenance, and construction support domains essential to Army garrison sustainability.
