Laura D. Nabity

Laura D. Nabity serves as a Contract Specialist within the W07V Endist St Paul office of the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition and administration of critical infrastructure and logistics support contracts essential to operational readiness. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and monitoring contracts for heavy civil engineering services, facility maintenance, and equipment repair across continental U.S. military installations. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with strategic readiness goals. Nabity maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including TAI HOLDINGS, INC, JT LAWN SERVICE, LLC, and JOHN FABICK TRACTOR CO, among others. These partnerships span landscaping, heavy equipment repair, and facilities support services, reflecting a preference for specialized, regionally-based vendors with proven technical capabilities in military-grade infrastructure maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity. A strong advocate for small business participation, Nabity consistently structures procurements with a 57.1% total small business set-aside rate under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no set-aside remains prevalent for larger or more complex requirements, her portfolio reflects a deliberate effort to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses within the scope of available capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), with additional activity in boat building and facilities support. This specialization underscores her technical expertise in maintaining outdoor military installations, heavy equipment fleets, and recreational infrastructure, requiring precise adherence to environmental, safety, and durability standards critical to Army operations.
