Crystal D Labrecque

Crystal D. Labrecque serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SN Endist Alaska office under the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure across Alaska’s remote and environmentally sensitive regions. She manages a diverse portfolio of civil engineering and environmental compliance contracts, ensuring that defense installations maintain operational readiness in extreme climatic conditions. Her acquisitions focus on facility construction, site preparation, and remediation services, aligning with the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, long-term infrastructure solutions. Labrecque’s work is central to executing the Army’s strategic priorities in base resilience and environmental stewardship, requiring deep technical understanding of construction standards and regulatory compliance in austere environments. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., Shannon & Wilson Inc., and R&M Consultants, Inc., who provide engineering, environmental assessment, and remediation expertise. She also routinely engages construction firms such as McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and Unit Company for civil works and site development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in Arctic and sub-Arctic construction, hazardous material handling, and military-specific engineering standards, indicating a reliance on technically proficient, mission-aligned vendors with regional operational familiarity. Labrecque’s contracting patterns show a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 4.3% allocated through 8(a) competed programs. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster vendor diversity and build capacity among qualified small businesses capable of operating in Alaska’s challenging conditions. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 541330 (engineering services), and 562910 (remediation services), reflecting expertise in infrastructure development, geotechnical engineering, and environmental cleanup. She routinely procures services involving soil stabilization, hazardous waste remediation, and cold-weather construction, underscoring a technical specialization in sustaining military operations in extreme environments.
