Ashley A. Pace

Ashley A. Pace serves as a key procurement professional within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 174, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure. In this role, Pace manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and security-related acquisitions aimed at ensuring mission-ready facilities across the operational footprint. Their work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in base resilience, utility modernization, and physical security enhancements, overseeing contracts governed by FAR Part 36 and other construction-specific regulations. Pace routinely handles design-build, repair, and renovation projects requiring compliance with military construction standards and environmental safeguards. Pace’s contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with small business contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, the procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with firms specializing in plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and prefabricated metal building systems. Working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering rapid-response maintenance and phased construction efforts under tight operational timelines, often requiring coordination with installation engineers and safety officers. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Pace’s contracting patterns, with over 81% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Additional emphasis is placed on HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to promote economic opportunity within underserved communities and among military veteran entrepreneurs. This pattern aligns with DoD mandates to maximize small business contracting in infrastructure support roles. Pace’s technical focus centers on NAICS 333120 (construction machinery manufacturing), 238220 (plumbing and HVAC contracting), and 332311 (prefabricated metal building components), indicating deep expertise in mechanical systems, structural upgrades, and modular construction solutions. Their acquisitions frequently involve integrated utility upgrades, security perimeter enhancements, and facility modernization projects requiring compliance with Army Technical Circulars and Unified Facilities Criteria.
