Kevin Ellis

Kevin Ellis serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Kansas City office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility infrastructure contracts that sustain and modernize critical Army installations. His work directly supports operational readiness by overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility support services, with a sharp focus on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems essential to military housing, water infrastructure, and environmental compliance. Ellis ensures acquisitions align with Army engineering standards and regulatory requirements, executing contracts that maintain the integrity of mission-critical facilities across the region. He maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and environmental services firms 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 established contractors with proven expertise in military facility systems, environmental remediation, and complex mechanical infrastructure upgrades. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle management of facility systems. Ellis demonstrates a strict commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent policy ensures equitable access for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms capable of delivering specialized HVAC and plumbing services, reinforcing the Army’s socioeconomic contracting goals. His procurement strategy prioritizes capacity-building among small business vendors with demonstrated technical competence in military-grade infrastructure. His primary technical domain centers on NAICS 238220, focusing exclusively on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting services. He procures turnkey solutions for mechanical system installation, maintenance, and modernization—including chilled water systems, ductwork, boilers, and wastewater controls—ensuring installations meet Department of Defense environmental and energy efficiency mandates. His expertise lies in integrating sustainable design practices with mission-driven facility sustainment requirements.
