Donna L. West

Donna West serves as a Contracting Officer for W2SN Endist Alaska under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical civil engineering and infrastructure support services essential to sustaining military operations in Alaska’s extreme and remote environments. Her portfolio centers on the construction, renovation, and environmental remediation of defense installations, ensuring long-term facility resilience and compliance with federal environmental standards. She executes complex procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily utilizing firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to deliver mission-critical infrastructure solutions that support operational readiness across austere terrains. West maintains enduring relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., R&M Consultants, Inc., WSP USA Solutions Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in military-grade construction, site preparation, and hazardous material remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships built on reliability and domain-specific capability. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition (68%), West consistently prioritizes small business participation, with notable allocations to Total Small Business Set-Asides (14.7%) and 8(a) competed contracts (9.3%). She actively promotes socioeconomic contracting goals, regularly structuring procurements to support Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms, aligning with DoD mandates to broaden contractor diversity and enhance community economic resilience. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over half of her portfolio, followed by remediation services (562910) and specialty trade contracting (238990). West’s expertise spans heavy civil construction, environmental site restoration, and infrastructure modernization, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in Arctic-capable construction methods and DoD environmental compliance frameworks.
