Delos C. Halterman serves as a Contracting Officer for the W071 Endist Kansas City under the Department of the Army, where he manages a diverse portfolio of civil engineering and facility support acquisitions critical to sustaining Army installations. His responsibilities include soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for infrastructure modernization, including water and wastewater systems, roadways, military housing, and environmental remediation projects. Halterman plays a pivotal role in advancing operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical construction and maintenance services in alignment with Army Civil Engineering priorities and federal acquisition regulations. He maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and environmental service providers, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, often partnering with joint ventures and specialty contractors to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary projects. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, frequently engaging firms with proven expertise in environmental compliance, geotechnical engineering, and large-scale infrastructure rehabilitation. Halterman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 78.8% of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, favoring small business concerns over non-set-aside awards, and reflect a deliberate strategy to foster competition and capacity-building within the defense support contractor community. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), with significant activity in electrical contracting, specialty trade work, and industrial machinery maintenance. This technical specialization underscores his expertise in managing integrated facility systems that support both operational durability and environmental stewardship across Army installations.
