Kirshell LaCroix

Kirshell LaCroix serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NB USPFO Activity Laang 159, a critical unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining operational readiness at military installations. In this role, LaCroix manages the acquisition of essential infrastructure, lodging, facility maintenance, and communications systems that support Air National Guard and Army units. Their responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with mission-critical readiness objectives. LaCroix routinely handles complex construction and professional services contracts requiring technical precision and stringent operational standards. LaCroix maintains a consistent working relationship with HDT Expeditionary Systems Inc., a primary contractor specializing in expeditionary infrastructure and modular facility solutions. This partnership reflects a strategic reliance on vendors capable of delivering rapid-deployment, durable systems under austere conditions. Beyond HDT, LaCroix engages a diverse pool of contractors capable of supporting both physical infrastructure and mission-enabling services, fostering a procurement environment that prioritizes reliability, scalability, and rapid turnaround. A strong commitment to small business participation characterizes LaCroix’s contracting approach, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside acquisitions where specialized capabilities are required. LaCroix’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541810 (Advertising Agencies), reflecting dual expertise in physical infrastructure development and mission communication support. This includes the construction and renovation of barracks, maintenance facilities, and command centers, alongside the procurement of public affairs, outreach, and informational materials essential to unit morale and operational transparency.
