Gloria Gonzales

Gloria Gonzales serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of facility sustainment, maintenance, and infrastructure support services critical to Army installation readiness. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant military installations across the continental United States. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on service-based acquisitions including landscaping, janitorial, waste collection, and institutional construction. Her procurement activities ensure mission-critical infrastructure remains operational while aligning with federal sustainability and readiness standards. Gonzales maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., who deliver complex construction and facility maintenance services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms experienced in military installation environments. She frequently engages contractors through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to respond dynamically to facility needs across multiple installations. A defining feature of her procurement strategy is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with over 81% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes 8(a) certified firms and, to a lesser extent, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate alignment with federal socioeconomic goals. Her contracting approach ensures broad small business access while maintaining high performance standards. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS categories including 561730 (Landscaping Services), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), with significant activity in 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services that support both operational readiness and quality-of-life standards for military personnel and their families.
