Hayley Frye (Contract Specialist)

Hayley Frye serves as a Contract Specialist within the W31R Endis Middle East office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical construction acquisitions to support U.S. military infrastructure across the Middle East. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for commercial and institutional building projects, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while aligning contracting outcomes with operational readiness objectives. Her work directly enables force projection and sustainment by securing durable facilities—including barracks, storage complexes, and logistics hubs—that meet stringent DoD standards for safety, security, and functionality. Frye maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including CDM Constructors Inc., Arkell International, L.L.C., and Exyte U.S., Inc.—all of which are recognized for their expertise in large-scale, high-integrity construction projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated experience in austere environments and complex logistical constraints. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and contract administration that prioritizes schedule adherence and quality control over cost alone. Frye’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency mandate to prioritize mission urgency and contractor capacity over socioeconomic set-asides, resulting in a contracting pattern focused on rapid mobilization and operational scalability rather than socioeconomic preference programs. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she specializes in procuring turnkey construction services for military housing, administrative facilities, and energy-supported infrastructure. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating design-build delivery methods, construction specifications aligned with UFC standards, and contractor qualifications for overseas execution in high-risk theaters.
