Zach Skrede

Zachary Skrede serves as the primary contracting lead for W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), a U.S. Army installation support unit under the Department of the Army. In this role, he manages the acquisition of essential facilities and infrastructure services critical to sustaining operational readiness, including custodial, landscaping, and building maintenance contracts. Skrede ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and habitable environments for military personnel. His portfolio consists primarily of service-based contracts awarded under FAR Part 12 and simplified acquisition procedures, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle maintenance support. Skrede maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven expertise in installation support services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and local capacity, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to ensure seamless service delivery across dynamic military environments. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Skrede prioritizes small business set-asides, with over two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. He frequently utilizes SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to inclusive contracting and workforce development. His patterns demonstrate a balanced approach to competition, with minimal use of unrestricted procurements. Skrede’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), accounting for nearly two-thirds of his portfolio, followed by NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings). His expertise lies in acquiring facility sustainment services—such as waste management, groundskeeping, and building maintenance—that directly support installation resilience and daily operational continuity.
