Adam Wantland

Adam Wantland serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville, operating under the Department of the Army’s W912QR contracting office. He manages a portfolio of civil engineering and construction acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across the continental United States. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for barracks, training facilities, utilities, and other installation-level systems essential to operational readiness. Wantland’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance resilience, energy security, and long-term infrastructure reliability through strategic capital investment and compliant federal acquisition practices. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced general contractors, including Thalle - Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J. E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service construction firms capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent military standards. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluations, and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers design criteria. Wantland’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 89.3% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently incorporates small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising project complexity or schedule integrity. His approach balances broad market access with targeted opportunities for qualified small businesses in the construction sector. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over 85% of his acquisitions. He routinely procures services related to structural framing, MEP systems integration, site development, and facility modernization, requiring deep expertise in military construction codes, sustainability standards, and DoD facility lifecycle management. His domain knowledge ensures alignment with Army installation master plans and energy resilience initiatives.
