Dawn Loyd-McCrary serves as a Contracting Officer for the W7M2 Uspfo Activity Flang 125 under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing mission-critical infrastructure and facility sustainment for military training environments. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, maintenance, and operational support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in installation readiness and modernization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facility construction, HVAC systems, and site improvements essential to sustaining combat training readiness. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Dawn maintains a robust network of qualified vendors specializing in civil works and building trades, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive projects under strict security and safety protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and consistent contractor accountability to meet the unique demands of military installations. Dawn demonstrates a strong, deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a consistent preference for leveraging small business capabilities across socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to promote equitable economic opportunity within defense contracting. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), accounting for 40% of her activity, followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and specialized trades such as flooring, painting, and highway construction. Dawn’s technical expertise lies in facility infrastructure modernization, with deep familiarity in integrating sustainable building practices, energy-efficient systems, and military-specific environmental standards into all acquisition decisions.
