Larry Kemp

Larry Kemp serves as a Contract Specialist with the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army (W911RX), where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness of Army installations. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for critical infrastructure services, with a primary focus on highway, street, and bridge construction under NAICS 237310. Kemp ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain secure, functional, and habitable military facilities through reliable civil works and facility sustainment solutions. Kemp maintains a strong, recurring partnership with Chenega Base & Logistics Services LLC, which consistently supports his acquisition portfolio as the primary contractor for infrastructure maintenance and construction services. While the majority of his awards flow through this key vendor, he also engages with a small but consistent cohort of other contractors, fostering competitive dynamics and ensuring performance reliability. His working relationships reflect a preference for established, high-performing vendors with proven capabilities in military construction environments. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with equal portions of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts, each accounting for 25% of his portfolio. The remaining 50% are awarded without set-aside, typically for complex or time-sensitive requirements where broad competition is prioritized. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to integrate small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. Kemp’s technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 23710, specializing in the procurement of civil infrastructure services essential to base operability, including road resurfacing, drainage systems, bridge rehabilitation, and related earthwork. His domain knowledge encompasses construction management, federal construction standards, and performance-based contracting methods tailored to military installation needs.
