Carol Hodges serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility support services critical to sustaining Army installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, environmental, and infrastructure contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness through the maintenance and modernization of military housing, water systems, roadways, and institutional buildings. Her acquisitions are strategically designed to support long-term installation resilience, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-critical timelines. Hodges maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, CAPE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC, and ZAPATA BLACK & VEATCH JV, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental remediation, commercial construction, and infrastructure lifecycle management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary solutions under tight operational constraints. A defining feature of Hodges’ procurement strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a robust commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing participation from small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms without exception. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small business entities capable of meeting the technical demands of Army infrastructure programs. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in site development, grounds maintenance, and facility construction for military installations. She routinely procures services ranging from stormwater management and erosion control to structural renovations and utility upgrades, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military construction standards and environmental compliance frameworks.
