Howard Gregory

Howard Gregory serves as a Contract Specialist with the W075 Endist Sacramento under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and facilities support acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Western United States. He executes competitive procurements in accordance with FAR and DFARS guidelines, focusing on infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management. His portfolio primarily includes heavy civil engineering, commercial and industrial building construction, and related support services, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contract actions. Gregory maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of whom have demonstrated proven capability in complex, mission-critical construction environments. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on safety, quality, and schedule adherence. He prioritizes contractors with regional expertise in Western U.S. terrain and environmental conditions, fostering reliable vendor networks capable of responding to urgent installation requirements. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 37% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 7.4% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. While over half of his actions remain open to all competitors, he actively promotes participation from small, women-owned, and disadvantaged businesses, aligning with Army-wide initiatives to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. Gregory’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and industrial construction (236210). He routinely procures site development, structural upgrades, roofing systems, and integrated facilities support services, demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure modernization, environmental remediation, and military construction standards. His work ensures Army installations remain mission-ready through technically sound, compliant, and sustainably managed acquisitions.
