Kristin Recio

Kristin Recio serves as a key procurement professional within the W074 Endist Charleston office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility construction services critical to Army readiness across the southeastern United States. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on the construction, maintenance, and modernization of military infrastructure—including barracks, command centers, child development facilities, and coastal defense systems—ensuring alignment with DoD resilience and sustainability standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain operational infrastructure through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting. Recio maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC., BRYMAK & ASSOCIATES, INC., CHANDLER CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC., SOUTHERN DREDGING CO INC, and COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction, dredging, and facilities support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure quality and compliance across complex infrastructure projects. Recio’s procurement strategy is uniformly dedicated to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to empowering small businesses, particularly those with specialized capabilities in construction and facilities management, without reliance on other socioeconomic categories. Her consistent use of full small business set-asides ensures broad opportunity access and reinforces DoD’s mandate for inclusive economic growth within the defense industrial base. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 70% of her portfolio, alongside NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) at 30%. She specializes in procuring turnkey construction, preventive maintenance, site development, and integrated facilities management services, demonstrating deep expertise in military construction standards, environmental compliance, and lifecycle asset management for mission-critical infrastructure.
