William A. Phipps

William A. Phipps serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office of the Department of the Army, where he plays a critical role in executing facility sustainment and infrastructure support acquisitions for U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting operational readiness through timely procurement of essential services. Phipps specializes in complex, multi-year contracts for facility maintenance, specialized construction, and equipment servicing, with a focus on sustaining airfields, utilities, and logistics infrastructure in high-priority European and deployed environments. Phipps maintains longstanding working relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., partnering with firms capable of delivering integrated facility support, technical maintenance, and specialized equipment solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships that align with mission-critical timelines and operational demands. He prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure support and global logistics capabilities. Phipps’ contracting portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside preference, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally solicited through socioeconomic programs, his approach ensures equitable access through transparent, merit-based evaluations that prioritize technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to vehicle and equipment leasing (532112, 532120), miscellaneous wood product manufacturing (321999), and commercial machinery repair (811310). This reflects a unique specialization in procuring non-traditional yet mission-enabling assets—including recreational vehicle rentals, specialized transport leasing, and industrial equipment maintenance—supporting both daily garrison operations and expeditionary force sustainment.
