Timothy Graley

2LT Timothy Graley serves as a junior contracting officer within the U.S. Army’s acquisition framework, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and facility services through compliant, small business-focused procurement processes. Responsible for executing simplified acquisition procedures and managing task orders under multiple-award contracts, he ensures alignment with FAR Part 19 socioeconomic objectives and DoD installation readiness requirements. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, utility systems, and site services critical to garrison operations, often coordinating with civil engineering and logistics teams to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements. Graley collaborates with a diverse pool of small business contractors, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs. While no single vendor dominates his award stream, he consistently engages regional plumbing, electrical, and HVAC contractors with proven on-site execution capabilities. His working relationships emphasize responsiveness, compliance with safety standards, and timely delivery of services in austere or high-tempo environments, fostering a vendor ecosystem built on reliability rather than scale. A strong advocate for small business participation, Graley prioritizes total small business set-asides in 75% of his actions, consistently leveraging FAR 19.5 to maximize opportunities for disadvantaged and locally based firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to promote economic resilience within host communities, frequently structuring requirements to meet small business size standards and avoiding unnecessary large-dollar thresholds that would trigger full-and-open competition. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 238210 (electrical installation), and 238910 (site preparation), with additional activity in 811310 (commercial machinery repair) and 484210 (household goods moving). He specializes in procuring preventive maintenance, facility upgrades, and logistical support services essential to sustainment operations, demonstrating technical fluency in building systems, utility infrastructure, and installation logistics.
