Werner Fauss

Werner Fauss serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0409 AQ HQ Contract office under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain U.S. Army garrison and overseas installation infrastructure. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for facility maintenance, specialized construction, and essential equipment servicing, ensuring operational readiness across high-priority domains including airfields, utilities, and logistics networks in Europe and other deployed theaters. Fauss specializes in complex, performance-based acquisitions that align with Army installation resilience standards and regulatory compliance frameworks, often coordinating with engineering, logistics, and environmental teams to define technical requirements and performance metrics. Fauss maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, most notably PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, both of which deliver integrated facility services and specialized technical support. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven performance, reliability, and adherence to military-grade service levels. He frequently engages contractors under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types, fostering collaborative environments that prioritize mission continuity and rapid response to dynamic operational demands. Fauss’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical capability and operational necessity over socioeconomic categorizations, aligning with the agency’s priority to secure mission-critical services without restriction. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere to FAR compliance and fair competition principles. His primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting a specialized domain in environmental services and waste management infrastructure for military installations. Fauss procures comprehensive solid waste handling, recycling, hazardous material disposal, and related logistics services essential to maintaining regulatory compliance and public health standards in garrison and expeditionary environments.
