Charlotte Balangue

SSG Charlotte Balangue supports the procurement mission of W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir under the Department of the Army by managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure and mission-enabling services for U.S. Army installations. She oversees contract execution for facility maintenance, logistical support, and operational readiness services, with a focus on janitorial, landscaping, HVAC, building systems, and religious support functions. Her role ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s installation sustainment priorities, emphasizing reliability, safety, and regulatory adherence across diverse service domains. Balangue maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including DISCOUNT TREE SERVICE, INCORPORATED, ACE UNIFORM SERVICES, INC., Quality Biological, Inc., Liberty Communications, Inc., and SPECIAL EVENT FLOORING TECHNOLOGY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging specialized vendors capable of delivering niche, high-integrity services—from uniform supply and biological materials to event-specific flooring and communications infrastructure. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability, performance history, and capacity to meet military-grade operational standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Balangue directs approximately 71.4% of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small firms. Her procurement patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, with a preference for vendors certified under small business classifications, reinforcing the Army’s commitment to inclusive contracting and community-based economic resilience. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 561622 (Locksmiths), 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors), 339992 (Musical Instrument Manufacturing), and 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), indicating a unique blend of security, apparel, and specialized textile procurement needs. These categories suggest expertise in procuring uniform components, ceremonial equipment, access control systems, and niche textile products essential to installation operations, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of non-traditional but mission-critical supply chains.
