Drenna L. Thompson

Drenna Thompson serves as a key procurement professional within W074 Endist Mobile, part of the Department of the Army, where she manages complex construction and engineering acquisitions critical to maintaining military infrastructure resilience. Her role centers on executing full-cycle contracting for large-scale commercial and institutional building projects, as well as heavy civil engineering works, ensuring alignment with Army installation modernization priorities. She oversees solicitations, evaluations, and award actions under FAR and DFARS frameworks, prioritizing mission-critical delivery of facilities and infrastructure that support operational readiness across defense installations. Thompson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including ROYCE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, ARELI, INC., FACILITY SERVICES MANAGEMENT, INC., J & J MAINTENANCE INC, and THE ROBINS & MORTON GROUP. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in military-grade construction, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, high-performing contractor networks capable of delivering complex, multi-year projects under demanding operational conditions. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 80% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. When set-asides are utilized, they are evenly distributed among 8(a) competed, Women-Owned Small Business, and total small business categories, each accounting for 6.7% of awards. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining competitive integrity and compliance with FAR Part 19 requirements. Thompson’s portfolio is dominated by NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her focus on barracks, administrative facilities, and institutional infrastructure, complemented by NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) for site development, utilities, and structural civil works. Her expertise lies in managing integrated construction, environmental remediation, and facility sustainment projects requiring compliance with military construction standards and federal environmental regulations.
