Ann Therese Young

Ann Therese Young serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Omaha office under the Department of the Army’s W9128F agency, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to national defense readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize hardened military facilities, utility corridors, and training environments. She routinely handles complex, high-stakes procurements under NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, with additional focus on engineering services and specialized equipment procurement. Young maintains enduring relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, experienced firms capable of executing large-scale, mission-critical construction and logistics projects under stringent DoD standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and contract administration aligned with Army Corps of Engineers protocols. While the majority of her acquisitions—78.6%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently supports small business participation, with 17.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 3.6% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a balanced commitment to market competition and socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19, prioritizing capability over size while ensuring equitable opportunity. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 236220, reflecting deep expertise in the construction of military infrastructure, including nuclear deterrence facilities and base modernization projects. Complementary acquisitions in engineering services (NAICS 541330) and specialized electronic components (NAICS 334419) demonstrate her technical fluency across integrated defense systems, ensuring facilities are not only built to spec but also operationally resilient.
