Stephen Phillippi

Stephen Phillippi serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM Micc-ft Bliss under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility services essential to sustaining operational readiness at Fort Bliss. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, roofing, utilities, and waste management contracts, ensuring that military installations remain safe, functional, and resilient. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to maintain mission-critical infrastructure through compliant, transparent, and strategically aligned procurement practices under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Phillippi maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of contractors including FEDERAL ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC, ALL AMERICAN AA LLC, C. ORTIZ, CORP, GLOBE BUILDERS, INC., and PIONEER ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained engagement with experienced, locally rooted firms specializing in commercial and military facility maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and adherence to technical specifications for complex construction and repair projects. A defining feature of Phillippi’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to maximizing small business participation. Every acquisition in his portfolio is structured to ensure eligibility for small business concerns, fostering economic opportunity and enhancing contractor diversity within the defense infrastructure sector. Despite the agency’s infrastructure focus, Phillippi’s NAICS classifications appear misaligned, with 50% each under 711130 and 711510—categories typically reserved for artistic and performance services. This anomaly suggests either a data entry inconsistency or a unique, non-standard application of these codes for specialized support services. His true technical expertise lies in facility systems, construction management, and installation sustainment, where he applies rigorous contract administration to deliver mission-critical outcomes.
