Christopher May

Major Christopher May serves as a contracting officer within the W071 Endist Kansas City office under the Department of the Army, where he manages acquisition programs critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for civil engineering, facility maintenance, and environmental remediation projects that directly support operational readiness across Army installations. He specializes in complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions governed by FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with military construction standards and environmental regulations. His portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil works, utilities, and site development initiatives essential to the long-term resilience of Army bases. Major May maintains sustained working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven expertise in environmental engineering, geotechnical services, and large-scale infrastructure delivery. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competence, past performance, and capacity to execute multi-year, mission-critical projects under stringent regulatory and safety frameworks. A strong advocate for small business participation, Major May consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores his commitment to fostering economic opportunity and enhancing competition within the defense construction sector, aligning with Department of the Army socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside awards are also issued, the majority of his portfolio actively supports small business growth through targeted solicitation strategies. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and NAICS 333511 (Industrial Mold Manufacturing). He procures services related to earthwork, drainage systems, roadways, and specialized infrastructure components, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military construction standards, geotechnical engineering, and environmental compliance requirements.
