Ashley C. Avery

Ashley C. Avery serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Louisville office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction, infrastructure, and facilities support acquisitions critical to military readiness. Focused on sustaining and modernizing continental U.S. military installations, Avery oversees the full lifecycle of civil engineering contracts—including barracks, training facilities, utilities, and energy resilience systems—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven infrastructure priorities. Their portfolio emphasizes capital improvement projects that enhance operational durability and energy security through microgrid integration and sustainable design. Avery maintains consistent working relationships with established construction and site development contractors including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J.E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced general contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-phase infrastructure projects under stringent military standards. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and adherence to safety and environmental compliance protocols. Avery demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 84.2% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms in the construction and facilities services sectors. The consistent use of set-asides underscores a proactive effort to foster economic inclusion and build a resilient, diversified contractor base aligned with Army sustainability goals. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in landscaping, maintenance, and installation support. Additional focus areas include construction machinery and equipment repair (NAICS 333120 and 811310), indicating expertise in procuring both hard infrastructure and the specialized equipment needed to maintain it. Avery’s technical domain spans civil engineering, energy resilience, and installation sustainment, positioning them as a strategic leader in Army infrastructure modernization.
