Erica Talley

Erica Talley serves as a Contract Specialist within the W076 Endist Expedition (provis), a Department of the Army organization focused on rapid infrastructure deployment in expeditionary and contested environments. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition programs for mission-critical facilities, including military camps, training academies, hangars, and utility systems essential to sustaining operations in austere theaters. Her work ensures compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while aligning procurement outcomes with operational readiness priorities. Talley routinely handles complex construction, environmental remediation, and support services contracts requiring technical oversight, risk mitigation, and rapid turnaround in high-priority theaters. Talley maintains consistent working relationships with ZANA GROUP COMPANY FOR GENERAL CONTRACTS as a primary contractor for large-scale infrastructure projects, alongside a range of foreign awardees operating under international procurement authorities. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and firm-fixed-price structures, fostering accountability in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments. She engages with vendors capable of delivering turnkey solutions under stringent security and logistical constraints, often coordinating with field engineers and logistics teams to ensure contract deliverables meet expeditionary operational standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 68.8% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 27.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 3.3% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic objectives, ensuring access to qualified small firms without compromising mission-critical timelines or technical requirements. Talley’s primary NAICS focus areas include Remediation Services (562910), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), and Environmental Consulting Services (541620), reflecting her specialization in constructing and sustaining infrastructure in environmentally sensitive and contaminated zones. She routinely procures services related to soil and groundwater remediation, modular facility construction, hazardous waste management, and janitorial support for forward-operating bases, demonstrating deep expertise in expeditionary engineering and environmental compliance.
