Ashley Pace

Ashley Pace serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NR USPFO Activity Nyang 174, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize military installation infrastructure. Responsible for managing acquisition strategies for critical facility upgrades and operational support systems, Pace oversees contracts spanning construction, security, and utility modernization. Their work ensures mission-ready installations through timely procurement of services that enhance base resilience, reinforce physical security, and upgrade aging infrastructure. Typical acquisitions include complex, multi-year task orders for specialty trade contractors and integrated facility services, requiring deep coordination with engineering, logistics, and environmental compliance teams. Pace maintains a collaborative contracting environment with a diverse pool of small and medium-sized vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, relationships are built on performance reliability, compliance with military construction standards, and responsiveness to rapidly evolving site requirements. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparent communication and rigorous oversight, fostering accountability across the lifecycle of each project. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Pace’s procurement philosophy, with over half of all acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Additional emphasis is placed on Women-Owned Small Businesses and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, each accounting for 10% of set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and innovation of niche contractors aligned with military infrastructure needs. Pace’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), followed by Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, Roofing Contractors, Solar Electric Power Generation, and Security Systems Services. This reflects expertise in integrated facility modernization, including renewable energy integration, perimeter security systems, and structural envelope upgrades. The technical domain demands proficiency in DoD construction standards, NFPA codes, and energy resilience benchmarks, ensuring all procurements align with Army sustainability and security mandates.
