Elena Shapovalova

Elena Shapovalova serves as the primary contracting professional for the W076 Endist Middle Eas(provis) agency under the Department of the Army, responsible for executing mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions across U.S. military installations in the Middle East. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and support contracts essential to operational readiness, including airfield runways, combat support complexes, power distribution systems, and port facilities. Her role ensures timely delivery of resilient infrastructure through compliant, performance-based contracting methods aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements, directly supporting expeditionary force sustainment and regional security objectives. Shapovalova maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CDM Constructors Inc., Arkell International, L.L.C., and Exyte U.S., Inc.—all of which have demonstrated expertise in military-grade construction and complex facility systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, past performance, and reliability under austere conditions. She prioritizes contractors with proven experience in expeditionary environments and specializes in performance-based service agreements that ensure lifecycle accountability for critical infrastructure assets. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection over socioeconomic categorization. While only 11.1% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, she maintains a disciplined, results-oriented approach to small business participation, ensuring eligible firms compete fairly within a high-stakes operational context. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), which reflects the agency’s logistical mobility needs, alongside significant activity in 541330 (Engineering Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services). She routinely procures specialized technical services for facility design, power system integration, and perimeter security infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in defense construction and expeditionary logistics domains.
