William A. Hilliard serves as a Contracting Officer for the 0409 Aq Hq Contract under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His portfolio encompasses full lifecycle contracting for specialized construction, maintenance, and utility systems essential to operational readiness, particularly in European and deployed environments. Hilliard executes procurements under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, ensuring compliance with FAR and Army-specific regulatory frameworks while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to maintain resilient military infrastructure, including airfields, barracks, utilities, and logistics facilities. Hilliard maintains consistent contracting relationships with established industry partners, most notably PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., reflecting a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven track records in military-grade facility support. His procurement patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with a focus on contractors capable of delivering integrated maintenance, electrical, HVAC, and specialty trade services under stringent operational and security requirements. These partnerships are typically long-term, performance-driven, and structured to support recurring, mission-critical needs across multiple theater locations. Hilliard’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach prioritizes technical capability, scalability, and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of garrison infrastructure support. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring deep expertise in building systems integration, facility modernization, and utility infrastructure upgrades. He routinely manages contracts for specialized construction, retrofitting, and maintenance of military housing and support facilities, demonstrating technical fluency in building codes, energy systems, and DoD environmental compliance standards.
