Shelley Schrader serves as a Base Contracting Officer for the W7N3 USPFO Activity UT ARNG under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions that sustain Army National Guard readiness. She oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure, equipment, and mission-support services essential to training, communications, and operational sustainment. Her portfolio includes competitively awarded contracts for facility systems, office equipment, and digital services aligned with the agency’s priorities in modernizing command and control capabilities and maintaining physical readiness assets. Schrader ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while balancing operational urgency with fiscal accountability across a diverse range of acquisition vehicles. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AKIMA Readiness Support LLC, Compass Medical Provider LLC, RMRM, Inc., vCloud Gov Inc., and Phoenix Health & Fitness Solutions, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated readiness solutions—ranging from medical and fitness services to secure cloud infrastructure and facility maintenance. Schrader’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and technical alignment with National Guard operational requirements, fostering collaborative, results-driven vendor engagements. Schrader’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her contracting practices prioritize value, capability, and timeliness, ensuring mission-critical needs are met without restriction. This reflects a deliberate strategy to access the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of delivering complex, high-standard solutions under tight operational timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), and 511210 (software publishing and digital content services). These categories underscore her expertise in acquiring facility systems, ergonomic operational infrastructure, and secure digital platforms essential to garrison readiness and administrative efficiency. Schrader’s technical domain spans facility sustainment, office environment modernization, and mission-critical information technology services.
