Cory Silfies

Cory Silfies serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NX Uspfo Activity Paang 193 under the Department of the Army, where they play a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain operational readiness and infrastructure resilience. Specializing in the acquisition of fabricated structural metal systems, Silfies manages full lifecycle contracting processes for construction, maintenance, and security infrastructure projects essential to military installations. Their work directly supports force projection and base operations by ensuring timely delivery of durable, compliant, and standards-driven physical assets that enhance facility integrity and access control systems. Silfies maintains strong, consistent working relationships with key contractors including Uhrig Construction Inc., TideWater Distributors LLC, and ARHAB LLC, all of whom are regularly engaged for structural metal fabrication, installation, and integrated security system support. These partnerships reflect a pattern of repeat engagement with vendors demonstrating proven technical competence, regulatory compliance, and reliability in delivering complex, defense-grade infrastructure components under stringent military specifications. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Silfies exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all procurements are reserved for small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and consistent socioeconomic strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance the industrial base supporting national defense. No other set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a singular focus on broad-based small business inclusion across all contract actions. Their procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 332312 — Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing — indicating deep expertise in sourcing custom-fabricated steel and metal components for structural frameworks, access control enclosures, perimeter fencing, and reinforced facility elements. Silfies’ technical domain knowledge centers on military construction standards, structural load requirements, and security-hardened design specifications, ensuring all acquisitions align with Army engineering and force protection mandates.
