Shane Galles

Shane Galles serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N0 USPFO Activity SD ARNG, supporting the operational readiness of Army National Guard personnel through the acquisition of mission-critical services and infrastructure. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Department of the Army, Galles ensures the timely delivery of essential support functions including food services, lodging, waste management, and equipment leasing. His acquisitions directly enable training readiness, administrative continuity, and quality-of-life standards for reserve component forces, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned sourcing strategies. Galles maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of primary contractors, including Compass Medical Provider LLC and Markelty, LLC, both of which provide specialized support in medical services and logistical operations. His procurement approach prioritizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to dynamic field requirements. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in military and reserve component environments, ensuring seamless integration of services into austere and high-tempo operational settings. A defining feature of Galles’ contracting activity is the exclusive use of total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic empowerment. All acquisitions are structured to maximize participation by small businesses, with no awards made to large businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business ecosystem capable of delivering essential services to National Guard units across the state. His primary procurement focus centers on four NAICS categories: 722310 (Food Service Contractors), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), and 532120 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing). These domains reflect deep expertise in sustaining field operations through non-combat logistics, with an emphasis on environmental compliance, mobile infrastructure, and scalable service delivery tailored to the unique demands of the Army National Guard.
