Gregg Rupkalvis

LTC Gregg Rupkalvis serves as a contracting officer within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction and facility support acquisitions critical to sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for public works projects, including maintenance, renovation, and modernization of barracks, institutional facilities, and grounds infrastructure. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical construction and security services that ensure operational readiness and environmental compliance at Army installations. Rupkalvis specializes in complex, multi-year contracts requiring coordination with engineering, environmental, and facilities management teams to deliver mission-aligned outcomes under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Rupkalvis maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of experienced contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc, and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of which have demonstrated proven capabilities in military construction and facility sustainment. These relationships are built on performance reliability, adherence to military construction standards, and responsiveness to urgent infrastructure needs. He frequently engages firms with prior experience on Department of Defense installations, favoring contractors with a track record in fast-track delivery, safety compliance, and integrated project delivery methods. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Rupkalvis prioritizes HUBZone set-asides, which account for two-thirds of his awards, alongside total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement strategy actively promotes geographic and economic diversity by directing opportunities to small businesses located in historically underserved communities, aligning with DoD’s broader goals for equitable contract distribution and community impact. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting his leadership in transportation and civil infrastructure projects, and NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), underscoring his role in procuring access control, surveillance, and perimeter security systems for installation protection. Rupkalvis’s expertise bridges civil engineering and physical security domains, ensuring that facility upgrades enhance both operational efficiency and force protection.
