Stephanie B. Senior

Stephanie B. Senior serves as a Contract Specialist at the W39L USA Readiness Center under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of professional, technical, and administrative services critical to sustaining military readiness. Her portfolio centers on securing consulting, training support, and infrastructure-related services that enhance command and control modernization, logistics planning, and facility sustainment. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in force preparedness and operational resilience. Stephanie maintains a consistent working relationship with KPH Construction Corp., a primary contractor for facility-related and construction-support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in defense-environment deliverables, while also fostering collaborative partnerships with small and disadvantaged businesses. She engages contractors through competitive solicitations, ensuring accountability, quality assurance, and timely delivery of mission-critical services across diverse operational domains. Her set-aside preferences demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 20% of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides, 10% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts, and an additional 10% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of her procurements remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of targeted set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, certified firms and strengthen the defense industrial base. Stephanie’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 323117 (Book Printing), and 561110 (Office Administrative Services), reflecting her role in supporting training materials, administrative infrastructure, and operational readiness functions. She frequently procures technical consulting, instructional support, and documentation services that enable training modernization and institutional knowledge retention across Army readiness units, demonstrating expertise in non-traditional defense acquisition domains beyond hardware and IT systems.
