Christine Dale

Christine A. Dale serves as a Contracting Officer for W2SN Endist Alaska under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical civil engineering and infrastructure services essential to sustaining military operations in Alaska’s remote and extreme environments. Her portfolio centers on the construction, maintenance, and environmental remediation of defense installations, ensuring operational readiness through resilient base infrastructure. She oversees full lifecycle procurements under FAR Part 36, with a strong emphasis on heavy civil engineering, site development, and environmental compliance contracts. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize and preserve military facilities under austere climatic conditions while adhering to federal environmental regulations and sustainability standards. Ms. Dale maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., R & M Consultants, Inc., and WSP USA Solutions Inc., who provide expert environmental remediation and engineering services. She also regularly engages McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and Unit Company for heavy civil construction and site preparation tasks. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in Arctic and subarctic construction, environmental permitting, and infrastructure resilience, ensuring technical competency in high-risk, high-reliability environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over half of her actions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. While the majority of awards are open to general small business competition, she actively supports service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, with nearly 4% of her set-asides designated for SDVOSBs. Minor allocations are also directed toward EDWOSB and HUBZone firms, demonstrating a balanced, inclusive approach to small business engagement. Ms. Dale’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by landscaping and engineering services. Her technical domain expertise spans infrastructure construction in permafrost zones, erosion control, drainage systems, and environmental restoration, requiring deep familiarity with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal environmental compliance frameworks.
