Dianne Grimes

Dianne Grimes serves as the primary contracting representative for W076 Endist Ft Worth under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of construction, maintenance, and infrastructure support services critical to sustaining military installations across the continental United States. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize barracks, institutional facilities, and grounds infrastructure while ensuring environmental compliance and operational readiness. Her procurement activities center on full-and-open and small business set-aside acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on delivering mission-critical capital improvements through integrated design-build and construction management approaches. Grimes maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering complex facility upgrades and infrastructure rehabilitation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established general contractors with proven expertise in military construction environments, alongside a strategic reliance on niche subcontractors for specialized trades such as roofing and site development. These partnerships are cultivated through performance-based contract structures and rigorous quality assurance protocols to ensure compliance with Army installation standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 35.6% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and additional allocations to Women-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, Grimes actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster vendor diversity and enhance competition within the defense construction sector. Her technical focus lies primarily in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310) and Industrial Building Construction (236210). She routinely procures services related to facility modernization, structural upgrades, site grading, and utility integration, demonstrating deep expertise in Army Corps of Engineers standards and DoD facility sustainment protocols.
