Desiree Aldrich

Desiree Aldrich serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts across continental U.S. military installations. Her role centers on executing non-residential real property leasing and facility operations acquisitions aligned with the Army’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant installations. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army installation standards. Her portfolio primarily supports long-term facility operations, including maintenance, grounds management, and infrastructure modernization efforts. Aldrich maintains consistent working relationships with a small group of established contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of which have demonstrated proven capacity in facility operations and construction support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service vendors capable of delivering integrated maintenance, facility management, and capital improvement solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and operational continuity rather than frequent vendor rotation, fostering stable, long-term vendor relationships critical to sustained installation readiness. Her procurement activity shows a 100% preference for no set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic targeting. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of capability and scale over small business set-asides, consistent with the complexity and scale of facility operations requiring specialized expertise. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, all awards remain compliant with federal procurement transparency and fairness standards. Aldrich’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating a strong specialization in real property leasing and facility management services. She procures turnkey solutions for institutional facility operations, including building maintenance, utilities management, landscaping, and infrastructure upgrades, ensuring installations meet Army regulatory and readiness requirements. Her domain expertise lies in real estate-based facility sustainment, making her a critical link in the Army’s physical infrastructure lifecycle management.
