Steve Stone

Steve Stone serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0410 Aq Hq Contract office of the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations and deployed forces. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on logistical support, facility services, and mission-enabling systems—including hospitality, transportation, security, and administrative infrastructure. His work ensures the continuity of force support capabilities through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned procurement actions that align with Army-wide readiness objectives and FAR-based acquisition protocols. Stone maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC, BARBARICUM LLC, QUIET PROFESSIONALS, LLC, SOS INTERNATIONAL LLC, and SECOND-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense-support services, cybersecurity-enabled logistics, and specialized technical support for military operations. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and operational resilience. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Steve demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages small business capabilities without relying on specialized socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while ensuring meaningful small business engagement. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), indicating a significant emphasis on IT hardware and communications infrastructure, complemented by NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) for facility modernization and support infrastructure. This dual-domain expertise positions him as a key operator in acquiring both digital and physical enablers critical to Army force sustainment.
