Tracie E. McClure

SSgt Tracie E. McClure serves as a contracting specialist within the W7NU Uspfo Activity Ohang 178, a Department of the Army installation support activity responsible for sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure. In this role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for construction, security, and communications-related contracts essential to garrison readiness and facility resilience. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with mission-critical timelines and standards for institutional facilities such as barracks, administrative buildings, and utility support structures. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in available data, SSgt McClure routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including general contractors, security systems integrators, and communications equipment manufacturers. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and adherence to defense-specific construction codes, fostering collaborative relationships with both large-tier prime contractors and qualified small business subcontractors. SSgt McClure demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between small business set-asides and open competitions under FAR 19.5. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly through total small business set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance local economic impact without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she oversees facility renovations and new builds, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing). This reflects deep technical expertise in integrating physical security infrastructure with modern communications systems, ensuring that military installations remain secure, connected, and operationally ready.
