Sterling Alphonse

Sterling Alphonse serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain garrison operations at one of the nation’s largest military installations. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service and equipment acquisitions, he ensures the continuous functionality of critical infrastructure, including lodging, food services, and operational support systems. His acquisitions span both technical and logistical domains, with a focus on maintaining mission readiness through reliable, compliant contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. Alphonse maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., each of which delivers specialized services ranging from facility support to military-grade electronics. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in defense logistics and garrison support, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and responsive service delivery. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Alphonse consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately 72% of his awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance socioeconomic diversity in the supplier base while ensuring access to agile, niche-capable vendors capable of meeting the unique demands of military installation operations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210 for computing infrastructure and data services, alongside significant activity in 711211 and 711219 for recreational and morale-support services, and 532490 for equipment leasing. These reflect a technical and operational emphasis on sustaining soldier welfare through IT systems, entertainment infrastructure, and specialized machinery—demonstrating expertise in balancing mission-critical needs with community support functions across a high-tempo garrison environment.
