Thomas P. McGuire

Tom McGuire serves as a Contract Specialist at W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain military installation readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of service contracts focused on facility maintenance, infrastructure support, and environmental operations, ensuring compliance with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. His acquisitions primarily support custodial, landscaping, grounds maintenance, and building services essential to daily garrison operations. McGuire’s work directly enables mission-critical readiness by securing reliable, high-quality services that maintain safe, habitable, and functional environments for military personnel and operations. McGuire maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These vendors are frequently selected for their proven capability in delivering facility services across diverse installation environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear scope definition, and post-award oversight to ensure contract compliance and service quality. He fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate operational reliability and adherence to federal and military standards. McGuire’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating 25% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not prioritize specialized socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his commitment to small business inclusion is evident in the structured use of simplified acquisition procedures and targeted market research to identify capable small firms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), accounting for half of his portfolio, followed by 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings). He specializes in acquiring integrated facility support services, including waste management, turf maintenance, structural upkeep, and building cleaning, demonstrating deep expertise in operational facility sustainment contracting within the Army’s garrison infrastructure mission.
