Francis Frenette

Francis Frenette serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing civil engineering and facility support acquisitions that sustain military infrastructure readiness. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for construction, environmental remediation, and facility maintenance services critical to Army installation operations. His portfolio primarily includes complex, multi-year task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines for housing, water systems, roadways, and utilities infrastructure. Frenette maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and environmental services firms, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military site remediation, geotechnical engineering, and sustainable infrastructure design. He frequently engages joint ventures and prime contractors with deep technical capabilities in environmental compliance and civil works, ensuring high-performance outcomes across sensitive operational environments. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 60% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other socioeconomic categories within the civil engineering and environmental services sectors. He actively encourages competition among qualified small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), focusing on environmental assessment, infrastructure design, and facility modernization. A secondary focus on NAICS 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing) supports interior fit-outs for administrative and operational facilities. His technical domain expertise centers on sustainable construction practices, hazardous material abatement, and Army-specific facility standards, ensuring acquisitions align with both regulatory requirements and mission-critical readiness goals.
