Kelly A. Hallstrom

Kelly A. Hallstrom serves as a Contract Specialist within the W074 Endist Mobile unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex construction and engineering procurements. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to modernize military infrastructure by executing competitively awarded contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and environmental remediation services. Her work ensures operational readiness through timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition strategies aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements, with a focus on large-scale, mission-critical projects that support Army installations nationwide. Hallstrom maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including ROYCE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, ARELI, INC., FACILITY SERVICES MANAGEMENT, INC., J & J MAINTENANCE INC, and THE ROBINS & MORTON GROUP. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in military facility upgrades, infrastructure resilience, and integrated environmental services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, high-performing contractor teams across multiple contract vehicles. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions without set-asides, Hallstrom demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly utilizes 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for economically disadvantaged small businesses and promote socioeconomic diversity within the defense construction sector. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction). She specializes in acquiring turnkey construction services, site development, utilities integration, and remediation systems, demonstrating deep technical understanding of military facility standards and federal environmental compliance requirements.
