Judy L Knox

Judy L. Knox serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility construction, utility systems, and specialized equipment essential to nuclear deterrence readiness and base operational resilience. Her work ensures the delivery of hardened facilities, mining-related infrastructure, and integrated support services that underpin strategic defense missions across the continental U.S. She operates within the full spectrum of federal contracting procedures, from solicitation through award and administration, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical delivery timelines and compliance with DoD engineering standards. Knox maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in heavy construction, electrical systems, heavy haul logistics, project management, and specialized mining equipment. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance history, technical compliance, and on-site execution capacity, often resulting in long-term, repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate reliability in high-stakes environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately 26.7% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, equally split between Total Small Business and HUBZone categories. While the majority of contracts remain open competition, her consistent use of HUBZone and small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 541712 for engineering R&D supporting defense infrastructure, 238160 for roofing and weatherproofing systems, 333131 for mining machinery, and 212312 for aggregate extraction tied to base construction. This reflects deep expertise in physical infrastructure lifecycle management, from site preparation to facility commissioning, with particular emphasis on durability, environmental compliance, and mission continuity.
