Hilary M. Winans

Hilary M. Winans serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering, facility maintenance, and infrastructure modernization services critical to sustaining Army installations. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions under the W912DQ contract vehicle, Winans ensures alignment with the Army’s mission to maintain operational readiness through resilient infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, engineering design, and environmental support services, with a focus on delivering mission-critical facility upgrades, water and wastewater system improvements, and grounds maintenance across military installations. Winans maintains established working relationships with leading contractors including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., CAPE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC, HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, and ZAPATA BLACK & VEATCH JV, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, geotechnical engineering, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term operational sustainability, often leveraging joint ventures to deliver integrated solutions across multiple disciplines. Winans’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and value through broad market engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, her contracting actions remain compliant with all federal small business goals and may include subcontracting opportunities as part of prime contractor performance plans. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over 60% of activity, followed by engineering services under 541330 and landscaping under 561730. She specializes in acquiring comprehensive facility lifecycle services, including design-build delivery, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance projects, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military infrastructure resilience and civil works execution.
