Carlos Ramos

Carlos Ramos serves as a key procurement lead within W31R Endis Middle East, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to enable force projection and sustainment across the Middle East through facility construction, infrastructure development, and logistics support. He manages a portfolio of complex construction and manufacturing acquisitions, primarily focused on securing mission-ready environments including military housing, storage facilities, and energy systems. His work ensures timely delivery of durable, secure, and compliant infrastructure assets critical to operational readiness, leveraging full and open competition to meet urgent theater requirements. Ramos operates within the Defense Contract Management framework, overseeing contract execution from solicitation through performance evaluation. He maintains consistent working relationships with established defense contractors including CDM Constructors Inc., Arkell International, L.L.C., and Exyte U.S., Inc., all of whom specialize in large-scale commercial and institutional construction and prefabricated metal systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated vendors capable of delivering turnkey solutions under austere conditions. Ramos’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical compliance, and supply chain reliability, fostering long-term vendor alignment with DoD standards for quality and timeliness. Ramos’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the operational urgency and scale of requirements in the Middle East theater, where mission-critical timelines and technical specifications often necessitate broad vendor eligibility and proven capacity over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332311 (prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing) and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), indicating deep expertise in modular facility systems, structural steel assemblies, and integrated construction delivery methods. He routinely procures engineered building systems, site-prepared foundations, and energy-efficient infrastructure components tailored for high-security military environments.
