Adam Surkin

Adam Surkin serves as the primary procurement lead for W7NH Uspfo Activity Msang 172, a Department of the Army activity under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for sustaining critical airfield and base infrastructure across high-priority military installations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition programs for construction, facility maintenance, and operational support services, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and federal contracting regulations. His portfolio primarily encompasses civil works, utility systems, and facility modernization contracts, requiring deep expertise in FAR-compliant sourcing, performance-based service acquisition, and mission-critical infrastructure sustainment. Surkin maintains strategic relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in military-grade construction and facility services, with a strong emphasis on small business participation. While no single vendor dominates his award stream, he consistently engages with firms holding 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB certifications, fostering long-term partnerships built on compliance, performance, and rapid response capabilities. His contracting approach prioritizes agility and resilience, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task order competitions to meet dynamic operational demands. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business set-asides, with 82.6% of contracts reserved under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity and workforce development. This pattern underscores a robust preference for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms capable of delivering specialized services in austere environments. His contracting patterns demonstrate a clear alignment with DoD’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) goals. Surkin’s primary NAICS focus areas include Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Water and Sewer Line Construction (237110), and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), indicating deep technical expertise in infrastructure resilience and utility system integration. He also procures specialized services related to facility operations and maintenance, with occasional requirements in metal container manufacturing and lodging support for transient personnel. His domain expertise lies in mission-critical facility sustainment, ensuring that base infrastructure supports uninterrupted airborne and ground operations.
