Keandre Malone

Keandre Malone serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Responsible for managing complex construction and facility support contracts, Malone oversees the acquisition of civil engineering, building construction, and operational maintenance services essential to Army installation readiness. Their work ensures the integrity of military housing, water and wastewater systems, roadways, and other mission-critical facilities through compliant, performance-based contracting practices aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. Malone maintains consistent relationships with leading engineering and environmental services contractors, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, CAPE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC, and ZAPATA BLACK & VEATCH JV, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, multi-disciplinary firms capable of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects requiring technical expertise in environmental remediation, civil construction, and facility operations. The contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, risk mitigation, and long-term lifecycle management of Army assets. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, Malone demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 25% of contracts set aside under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program (FAR 19.5). This reflects a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster economic opportunity within the defense supply chain, without compromising technical capability or mission outcomes. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in janitorial and general support services under 561720 and 561990. Malone’s expertise lies in integrating environmental compliance, structural integrity, and operational efficiency into every acquisition, ensuring that infrastructure investments directly enhance Army readiness and resilience.
