Caroline R Pheasant

Caroline R. Pheasant serves as a Purchasing Technician at W071 Endist Omaha under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to military readiness. In this role, she facilitates the execution of procurement actions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize defense installations, including nuclear deterrence facilities and utility systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of simplified acquisitions, purchase orders, and micro-purchases under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring timely delivery of goods and services that enable operational continuity and base resilience. Her work directly supports the planning, construction, and maintenance phases of strategic military infrastructure projects. Pheasant maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships span electrical systems, transportation logistics, facility management, and specialized equipment procurement. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear specifications and quality assurance protocols. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged and locally based vendors, enhancing community engagement and workforce development within the defense supply chain. Her contracting patterns consistently align with socioeconomic goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for qualified small businesses. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721211 (RV parks and campgrounds), 561730 (landscaping services), 813312 (environmental and wildlife organizations), 562991 (septic tank services), and 541380 (testing laboratories). These reflect a unique blend of environmental stewardship, utility support, and recreation infrastructure needs critical to military base operations, demonstrating expertise in non-traditional defense procurement domains that support quality of life and regulatory compliance.
