Krista O'Connor

Krista O’Connor serves as a key procurement lead within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility sustainment and installation support contracts across the Western United States. She oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to maintaining operational readiness, with a focus on environmental compliance, facility lifecycle management, and mission-critical maintenance. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring alignment with Army installation modernization priorities and regulatory standards. O’Connor’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to preserve and enhance military land assets through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting. She maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of regional contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which have demonstrated consistent performance in installation support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally based firms capable of executing complex site development and environmental remediation tasks across diverse terrains. O’Connor’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and regional expertise, fostering collaborative vendor relationships built on performance history and mission alignment. O’Connor exhibits a firm commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those with expertise in environmental services and construction support. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, ensuring that small, locally owned firms have equitable access to Army infrastructure contracts without reliance on large business set-asides or unrestricted competitions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services) and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), reflecting the agency’s emphasis on environmental stewardship and installation aesthetics. She procures specialized services including invasive species control, habitat restoration, irrigation system maintenance, and integrated pest management—critical to sustaining Army lands in compliance with federal environmental regulations and sustainability goals.
