Dean R. Whitmore

Dean R. Whitmore serves as Maintenance Foreman for W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he plays a critical operational role in overseeing the maintenance, repair, and lifecycle management of military infrastructure across federal installations. His responsibilities include evaluating facility conditions, defining maintenance requirements, and initiating procurement actions for repair and support services that ensure mission-critical readiness. Whitmore works closely with contracting teams to translate technical needs into solicitation requirements, primarily handling service-based acquisitions for building systems, environmental utilities, and facility sustainment projects. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, vetted vendors with proven capabilities in civil works, maritime infrastructure, and specialized maintenance services. His procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with federal facility standards. Whitmore’s acquisition portfolio is fully aligned with Small Business Set-Aside preferences, with 100% of his procurements structured under FAR 19.5 to maximize participation from small businesses. This reflects a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, ensuring equitable access for small, disadvantaged, and historically underrepresented firms across all contract actions. His technical focus centers on three key NAICS categories: 238210 for electrical and wiring installation systems, 561990 for comprehensive facility support services, and 562991 for septic tank and wastewater management. These reflect deep expertise in building systems maintenance, utility infrastructure support, and environmental compliance, positioning him as a key technical liaison between field operations and contract execution in the Army’s facility sustainment mission.
