Howard Gregory

Howard Gregory serves as a key procurement lead within the W075 Endist Sacramento office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and civil engineering contracts aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness through resilient facility development, environmental compliance, and lifecycle asset management. His acquisitions primarily involve heavy civil engineering, commercial building construction, and public works projects, requiring strict adherence to federal construction standards and environmental regulations under the FAR and DFARS. Gregory maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, many of whom specialize in complex site development, earthwork, and facility modernization in challenging terrain. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven regional expertise, security clearances, and demonstrated capacity to execute multi-year, mission-critical projects under tight operational timelines. His contracting patterns reveal a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly equal portions of awards issued under total small business set-asides and open competitions. He actively leverages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate effort to support veteran-owned enterprises. This reflects a strategic alignment with DoD socioeconomic goals while maintaining competitive integrity. Gregory’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in commercial and institutional building (236220), highway and bridge construction (237310), and fabricated structural metal manufacturing (332312). He routinely procures services related to water and sewer infrastructure, structural steel fabrication, and facility upgrades, requiring deep domain expertise in military construction standards, geotechnical engineering, and sustainable building practices.
