Thomas R. Lamont

Thomas R. Lamont serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7MX Uspfo Activity CA ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining the operational readiness of Army National Guard installations across remote and regional sites. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for infrastructure, maintenance, and logistical support services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. His portfolio primarily includes construction-related services, custodial operations, and specialized equipment procurement critical to maintaining training facility functionality and mission sustainability. Lamont collaborates with a diverse array of contractors, including small businesses certified under multiple socioeconomic programs, to deliver mission-critical services. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on competitive set-asides, fostering partnerships with 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and women-owned small businesses. He actively engages vendors through full and open competition when appropriate, but consistently prioritizes small business participation to enhance innovation and local economic impact. His procurement strategy demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 77% of his acquisitions designated for small business set-asides, including equal portions allocated to 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides. Service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses each represent 11.1% of his awarded contracts, reflecting a deliberate and balanced approach to promoting equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Lamont’s primary NAICS focus centers on hospitality and outpatient care services—specifically 721110 (Hotels and Motels) and 621498 (Other Outpatient Care Centers)—indicating a unique operational need to support transient personnel, training event logistics, and on-site medical support at ARNG facilities. He also procures related services under 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers) and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), demonstrating expertise in managing non-traditional defense acquisitions that enable mission readiness through integrated facility and support services.
