1LT Stephen Stimson

1LT Stephen Stimson serves as Project Manager for the W7M9 Uspfo Activity Ks Arng under the Department of the Army, where he leads the planning, execution, and oversight of construction and infrastructure sustainment acquisitions critical to military readiness. His role centers on ensuring operational facilities—ranging from training centers to industrial support buildings—are procured in alignment with Army engineering standards and mission-critical timelines. Stimson manages full lifecycle contract actions for commercial and industrial construction projects, coordinating with design teams, field engineers, and logistics specialists to deliver resilient, code-compliant infrastructure that supports Army National Guard units across the region. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Stimson routinely engages with a diverse pool of general contractors, specialty builders, and construction management firms capable of executing complex military-grade projects under FAR and DFARS compliance. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, firm-fixed-price structures, and rigorous quality assurance protocols to ensure durability and safety in high-utilization facilities. He maintains a collaborative approach with contractors, prioritizing transparency, schedule adherence, and safety compliance throughout contract performance. Stimson’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his portfolio remains open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates active support for small business participation, particularly firms qualified in construction services. He does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but ensures all eligible small businesses have equitable access to opportunities within his portfolio. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), reflecting his specialization in procuring new construction and major renovations of barracks, maintenance shops, armories, and logistics hubs. He possesses deep expertise in interpreting military construction standards, managing design-build delivery methods, and integrating facility sustainment requirements into acquisition planning to support long-term force readiness.
