Anna Ricci C. Cayanan

Anna Ricci C. Cayanan serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical military infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of construction, environmental, and engineering services aligned with Army facility lifecycle management priorities. She handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions, primarily under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms, with a focus on compliance with FAR Part 36 and environmental regulatory frameworks. Cayanan ensures alignment with strategic objectives including resilient infrastructure development and sustainable facility maintenance. Cayanan maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of whom specialize in heavy civil construction and site development. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and contractor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms proven in delivering complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects under stringent military standards. She actively engages with regional contractors with proven track records in Western U.S. environments, prioritizing reliability, safety compliance, and timely execution. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she strategically deploys set-asides to support qualified small businesses in the construction and engineering sectors, reinforcing Army-wide socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Cayanan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting her expertise in site development, earthwork, and structural infrastructure. She also manages specialized acquisitions under NAICS 541712 for engineering research and environmental assessments, demonstrating technical fluency in geotechnical, hydrological, and sustainability-driven design requirements essential to Army land asset stewardship.
