Christopher L. Crouch

Mr. Christopher Crouch serves as a Contracting Officer within the 0906 Aq Co Contracting Bat, a unit of the Department of the Army under the Department of Defense. He is responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services and construction-related supplies for overseas military installations, with a focus on sustaining operational readiness through facility modernization, modular construction, and utility system upgrades. His portfolio encompasses complex procurements under FAR Part 36 and FAR Part 13, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for engineering, logistics, and facility maintenance. Crouch plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic mission to rapidly deploy resilient infrastructure in high-priority theaters, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for force posture and sustainability. His primary contractor relationship is with PYUNGTAEK ENVIRONMENT CO., LTD, a key vendor delivering specialized environmental and construction support services for overseas bases. While the majority of his contracts are awarded through full and open competition, he maintains a consistent working relationship with a small cohort of established contractors experienced in military infrastructure environments, often leveraging pre-vetted indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to streamline acquisition timelines. Crouch’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 96.5% of awards issued under full and open competition. Only 3.5% of his awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a mission-driven focus on capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all statutory small business obligations. His primary NAICS focus includes 711320 for event and recreational facility support, 337127 for institutional furniture systems, and 541715 for engineering and physical science R&D services. He routinely procures modular barracks, command center furnishings, environmental testing services, and specialized trailer-based utility systems, demonstrating deep expertise in military-specific facility sustainment and expeditionary infrastructure procurement.
