Ashley HARRISON

Ashley Harrison supports the procurement mission of W076 Endist Ft Worth, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across the continental United States. In this capacity, Harrison manages the acquisition of construction and facility services critical to maintaining safe, functional, and environmentally compliant military installations. Their work primarily involves the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, with a focus on barracks modernization, institutional facility upgrades, and grounds maintenance. Harrison operates within the Army’s installation readiness framework, ensuring acquisitions align with lifecycle management goals and federal construction standards. Harrison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom have demonstrated technical proficiency in military facility projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in DoD construction environments, including compliance with UFC standards and environmental regulations. While the majority of contracts are awarded through open competition, Harrison’s procurement approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and capacity to execute complex, multi-phase construction tasks under stringent operational constraints. Set-aside preferences reveal 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 no other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate the portfolio, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster contractor diversity and enhance competition within the construction sector. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for nearly 90% of acquisitions, with the remainder falling under NAICS 237990 for heavy civil engineering support. Harrison’s expertise centers on the procurement of design-build and construction management services for barracks, administrative buildings, and related infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Army installation resilience and sustainability objectives.
