Xochitl Tiedemann

SSG Xochitl Tiedemann serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-FDO Ft Hood, a critical unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining Fort Hood’s military infrastructure and garrison operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility modernization, utilities maintenance, and mission-critical support systems, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contract execution. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain resilient barracks, communications networks, and logistical facilities, requiring deep familiarity with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) procedures and installation-specific requirements. Tiedemann maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of established service providers and specialized vendors capable of delivering technical, logistical, and facility support services under complex military operational constraints. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to meet sustained garrison needs. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses across multiple categories, fostering a competitive, inclusive supplier base aligned with Army procurement goals. Her pattern of awarding contracts to small firms underscores a proactive effort to enhance local economic impact and build a resilient contractor pipeline. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 316990 (leather and allied products), 336999 (transportation equipment), 112920 (equine production), and 115210 (animal production support), indicating specialized needs in equestrian operations, specialized vehicle components, and livestock management systems critical to Fort Hood’s training and ceremonial missions. Her expertise spans both traditional facility support and niche, mission-unique procurement domains requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance.
