Elizabeth J. Kelley

Elizabeth J. Kelley serves as a Contract Specialist for the W076 Endist Ft Worth under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of facility sustainment, infrastructure maintenance, and grounds management services critical to operational readiness across continental U.S. installations. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the Army’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant installations. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on construction support, landscaping, and facility operations contracts. Kelley maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced, full-service vendors capable of delivering integrated facility support. Her procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with proven track records in military infrastructure work, while actively engaging smaller firms through set-aside programs. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract structures that emphasize quality, timeliness, and compliance with DoD standards. A defining feature of Kelley’s contracting approach is her robust commitment to small business participation, with 86.4% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition, consistently prioritizing small businesses over open competitions. Her portfolio demonstrates minimal use of other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a streamlined focus on broad small business inclusion rather than targeted programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Landscaping Services (561730), Real Estate Appraisal (531320), and RV Park and Campground Operations (721211), underscoring expertise in outdoor infrastructure, recreational facility management, and land-use support services. She procures specialized services related to grounds maintenance, environmental compliance, and institutional facility support, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with Army installation standards and sustainable operations practices.
