Debora S Gray

Debora S. Gray serves as a Procurement Analyst for W2SD Endist Norfolk, a unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Department of the Army, where she supports the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility services essential to military readiness. Her role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, engineering, and facility modernization projects across the Eastern United States. She works closely with program managers and contract specialists to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in the areas of design-build, construction management, and integrated facility services. Gray’s acquisitions primarily support military housing, administrative facilities, and utility infrastructure upgrades, requiring precise coordination of technical specifications, schedule constraints, and budgetary alignment. Gray maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including CLARK CONSTRUCTION GROUP LLC, SAWYER SERVICES INC, VANAR EASTERN JV1, LLC, and RITZ CONSTRUCTION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced general contractors and specialized trade firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical projects under stringent DoD standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on quality control, safety compliance, and timely delivery in operational environments. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 49% of awards issued under no set-aside, while 28.6% are total small business set-asides and 17.1% designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs, including HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides, to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition among qualified small firms. Gray’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in facility construction and MEP systems integration. She also regularly procures office furniture manufacturing (337214) and engineering services (541330), demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure.
