Kimberly BASS

Kimberly BASS serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist Memphis office of the Department of the Army, overseeing complex civil engineering and facility maintenance contracts critical to Army installation readiness. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for large-scale infrastructure projects, including the rehabilitation of engineer yards, heavy equipment maintenance systems, and industrial facility upgrades. Her role ensures alignment with the Army’s strategic imperative to sustain and modernize critical logistics and operational hubs through compliant, performance-based contracting practices. BASS handles a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering services, emphasizing mission-critical timelines and regulatory adherence under FAR and DFARS frameworks. She maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including SIA SOLUTIONS LLC, SUPERIOR-LIDGERWOOD-MUNDY CORP, DONALD BOND CONSTRUCTION INC., VIXEN LLC, and FIREWATCH CONTRACTING OF FLORIDA LLC, all of whom have demonstrated proven capacity in heavy civil works and institutional construction. These partnerships reflect a pattern of re-engagement with vendors who deliver high-quality, on-time performance in complex, safety-sensitive environments. BASS prioritizes long-term vendor reliability and technical competency, fostering collaborative contract administration to ensure compliance with Army engineering standards and environmental regulations. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately one-third of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and additional allocations to 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, and HUBZone firms. While nearly half of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively promotes small business participation through targeted solicitation design and mentor-protégé engagement, reinforcing the Army’s broader diversity and resilience goals in the industrial base. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with supplementary activity in surveying, highway construction, and facility systems integration. She specializes in procuring turnkey construction, structural rehabilitation, and heavy equipment maintenance services essential to sustaining Army base operations and force projection capabilities.
