Angel H. Santiago

Angel H. Santiago serves as the Noncommissioned Officer in Charge of the 744th Specialized Contracting Cell (SCCT) under W076 Endist Ft Worth, a unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. In this role, Santiago oversees the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and engineering support contracts critical to maintaining safe, compliant, and mission-ready installations. Their procurement activities center on engineering services that enable facility modernization, barracks upgrades, and grounds management, ensuring alignment with Army regulatory and environmental standards. As the lead contracting authority for specialized technical acquisitions, Santiago ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while driving operational readiness through timely and efficient contract execution. Santiago maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of which provide specialized construction and engineering support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, performance-based contract management, and a shared focus on quality control and schedule adherence. While these firms represent the primary contracting vehicles, Santiago’s team also engages a broader network of 14 additional vendors to ensure capacity and competition across project lifecycles, fostering reliability and resilience in the supply chain. Santiago demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of their procurement actions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal engineering contracts and promoting workforce development within underserved communities. All acquisitions are intentionally reserved for small business concerns, reinforcing the Army’s socioeconomic contracting goals and enhancing contractor diversity. The agency’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing civil, structural, and environmental engineering disciplines. Santiago specializes in procuring design, planning, and technical support services for military facility upgrades, including utility system improvements, landscape architecture, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Their expertise lies in managing complex engineering deliverables that meet Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal environmental compliance requirements.
