Ashley Stokes

Ashley Stokes serves as the primary contracting lead for W076 Endist Little Rock, a critical operational unit under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Department of the Army. In this role, Stokes oversees the acquisition of essential environmental and infrastructure support services for federal water resource and recreation sites across Arkansas, ensuring seamless maintenance of public-access facilities including lakes, reservoirs, and campgrounds. Their procurement portfolio centers on service-based contracts aligned with mission-critical operations, including janitorial, landscaping, waste collection, septic system maintenance, and recreational facility support. Stokes plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into compliant, performance-driven solicitations that uphold federal standards while prioritizing environmental stewardship and public safety. Stokes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federal environmental services and recreation site operations. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term performance reliability, with many vendors delivering integrated, multi-service solutions under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order structures. Collaborative engagement and performance-based contract management are hallmarks of Stokes’ vendor relationships, fostering accountability and operational continuity across dynamic field conditions. Stokes demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This policy ensures that all contract opportunities are exclusively available to small businesses, reinforcing socioeconomic goals and promoting equitable access to federal contracting. No other set-aside categories are utilized, reflecting a deliberate focus on broad-based small business development rather than niche socioeconomic subsets. The agency’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), with significant activity in 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds). Stokes specializes in acquiring integrated environmental operations services, requiring technical knowledge of federal environmental regulations, waste handling protocols, and recreational facility maintenance standards. Their expertise lies in procuring mission-critical, service-oriented solutions that sustain public access to federally managed natural resources.
