Allen R. Bassett

Allen Bassett serves as Location Administrator and Contracting Officer for W075 Endist Sacramento under the Department of the Army, where he oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. In this dual-role capacity, he manages the full lifecycle of construction and civil engineering contracts, ensuring alignment with Army facility modernization goals and environmental compliance standards. His portfolio primarily includes heavy civil works, land development, and utility infrastructure projects essential to sustaining military readiness. Bassett exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 15, conducting competitive procurements, negotiating technical and cost terms, and ensuring compliance with federal construction regulations and Army installation standards. Bassett maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of whom possess proven expertise in heavy civil construction and site development in complex terrain. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with regional experience in Western U.S. environments and demonstrated capability in executing large-scale earthwork, grading, and utility installation projects. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous site evaluation, and contractor accountability through detailed technical specifications and quality assurance protocols. Bassett demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his awards issued under no set-aside and the other half equally split between Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, particularly those with specialized capabilities in civil engineering and land development. His procurement practices consistently prioritize certified small businesses without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237210 (Land Subdivision), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), 212319 (Crushed Stone Mining), and 237990 (Other Heavy Civil Engineering Construction). These categories underscore his technical expertise in site preparation, drainage systems, aggregate sourcing, and large-scale earthmoving operations essential to Army installation resilience and environmental sustainability.
