Gregory Cook

Gregory Cook serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Seattle office of the Department of the Army, managing complex civil infrastructure and construction acquisitions critical to military installation resilience across the Pacific Northwest. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize defense-related facilities through heavy civil engineering, hydraulic infrastructure upgrades, and environmental remediation projects. Cook specializes in awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for design-build, construction services, and specialized engineering support, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and environmental compliance requirements. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCANTIERI Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc., who deliver high-value civil construction, marine repair, and facility modernization services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of executing multi-disciplinary projects under stringent military specifications, often involving hazardous material abatement, coastal engineering, and heavy equipment mobilization. Cook demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly two-thirds of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strategic emphasis on economic inclusion and workforce development. While no set-aside remains a significant component of his portfolio, his contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility and performance capability over size-based preferences alone. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 238910 (site preparation) and 532412 (construction equipment leasing), with notable activity in janitorial services (561720), testing laboratories (541380), and specialized industrial lubricants (324191). This technical diversity underscores his expertise in managing mission-critical support services that enable operational readiness, from soil stabilization and debris removal to equipment maintenance and environmental sampling—all essential to sustaining Army installations in challenging geographic and climatic conditions.
