Kelvin Demtrius France

Kelvin Demtrius France, MSG, serves as a key contracting professional within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex construction and civil engineering acquisitions critical to military infrastructure readiness. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement for military installations, including barracks, training facilities, utilities, and structural enhancements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational mission requirements. He primarily handles design-build, construction management, and firm-fixed-price contracts for large-scale infrastructure projects across the continental United States, aligning acquisitions with the Army’s strategic goals for resilient and energy-efficient installations. France maintains established working relationships with leading construction contractors including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J. E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, large-capacity firms capable of executing multi-disciplinary projects involving structural, roofing, and site development components. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and schedule adherence, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and technical proficiency. While the majority of his acquisitions—75%—are conducted without set-asides, France consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (16.7%) and HUBZone Set-Asides (8.3%), demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting objectives. He actively leverages FAR 19.5 provisions to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses while maintaining mission-critical delivery standards. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), with additional activity in 238190 (Building Exterior Contractors), 237310 (Highway and Bridge Construction), and 339950 (Sign Manufacturing). This reflects deep expertise in structural, envelope, and site infrastructure systems essential to military installation modernization and sustainment.
