Gail A. Mance

Gail A. Mance serves as a Contract Specialist within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting environmental and infrastructure operations across federal water resource and recreation sites in Arkansas. She executes acquisitions under the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain public access to lakes, reservoirs, and associated facilities through integrated services including landscaping, janitorial support, waste management, and light construction. Mance specializes in service-based contracts governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 37, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards and operational readiness requirements. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based agreements that emphasize quality control, environmental stewardship, and timely delivery of site maintenance services. Mance fosters collaborative vendor engagement, leveraging past performance data and technical evaluations to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. Mance demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, with no use of large business set-asides or sole-source awards. This approach aligns with DoD priorities to strengthen the small business industrial base and promote equitable access to federal contracting. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541370—Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services—reflecting a specialized technical domain in land surveying, boundary delineation, topographic mapping, and geospatial data collection essential to managing water resource infrastructure. She ensures all contracts include precise technical specifications, deliverable standards, and quality assurance protocols tailored to federal land management requirements.
