William J. Cole

Bill Cole serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NN Uspfo Activity Nhang 157, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining mission-ready military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility modernization acquisitions, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for readiness and operational continuity. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain and upgrade garrison facilities through strategic contracting for building construction, site preparation, and utility infrastructure. Cole’s acquisitions focus on mission-critical assets that enable training, security, and daily garrison operations, with an emphasis on long-term durability and regulatory compliance. He maintains a consistent working relationship with HOWARD SYSTEMS VOICE DATA WIRI, a primary contractor delivering specialized communication and data infrastructure services. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven experience in military-grade facility systems, while actively cultivating partnerships with small businesses that meet stringent technical and security requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based outcomes, with a strong emphasis on compliance, schedule adherence, and post-award oversight to ensure operational readiness. Cole demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 78.6% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms, aligning with DoD directives to promote broad-based economic participation. His contracting decisions consistently prioritize vendors with relevant certifications and demonstrated capacity to deliver complex infrastructure solutions at scale. His primary industry focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in industrial construction (236210), site preparation (238910), and utility infrastructure including water, sewer, and power systems. He specializes in procurements involving active vehicle barriers, fuel storage systems, and hardened facility upgrades—technical domains requiring precise adherence to Army Corps of Engineers and UFC standards.
