Carol A. Dones

Carol A. Dones serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army’s W91238 agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining Army operational readiness across the Western United States. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction and installation support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning contracting decisions with strategic priorities in resilient infrastructure, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, as well as electrical systems installation, supporting mission-critical Army installations through timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting. Carol maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Far West Contractors Corp, and Aleut Construction LLC, reflecting a pattern of trusted vendor partnerships grounded in consistent performance and technical expertise in military facility construction. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and collaborative problem-solving, particularly on complex, multi-phase projects requiring adherence to stringent DoD standards for safety, sustainability, and readiness. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with nearly two-thirds of her awards structured as set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Asides. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity while leveraging the specialized capabilities of small, mission-aligned contractors. Carol’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238210 (Electrical Contractors), underscoring her expertise in procuring facility upgrades, maintenance, and infrastructure modernization services. She brings deep knowledge of military construction requirements, including environmental regulations, energy resilience standards, and phased project delivery, ensuring that acquisitions directly support the Army’s enduring mission to maintain secure, functional, and sustainable installations.
