Danny Kissam

Danny R. Kissam serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Wilmington office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical civil works and infrastructure projects essential to Army installation readiness. He manages a portfolio of construction and engineering contracts focused on sustaining and modernizing land-based facilities, utility systems, and regional defense logistics infrastructure. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure resilient, environmentally compliant infrastructure across military installations, with a primary emphasis on heavy civil engineering and public works construction. Kissam handles complex, high-stakes procurements under FAR Part 36, often involving design-build, construction management, and performance-based contracting methodologies. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, 4K Global-ACC MP, LLC, COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION, LGX-RBS, LLC, and SOUTHWIND CONSTRUCTION CORP. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, site development, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Kissam’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor engagement while maintaining strict compliance with federal construction standards. Kissam demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions reserved for small business categories: 12.5% each for Total Small Business Set-Asides, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides, and HUBZone Set-Asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden contractor participation while ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain within the small business ecosystem. His procurement patterns align with Department of Defense goals to promote equitable access and veteran-owned enterprise development. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), accounting for 87.5% of his portfolio, with additional activity in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). He procures complex infrastructure services including earthwork, drainage systems, retaining structures, and utility relocations—domains requiring specialized engineering oversight and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers standards.
