Lawrence Forde

Lawrence Forde serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Bliss office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisition strategies that sustain critical infrastructure at Fort Bliss. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through facility services, construction, and logistics support. He routinely handles complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for construction, maintenance, and facility-related services, ensuring compliance with military standards and lifecycle sustainability goals. His portfolio emphasizes timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure upgrades, particularly in roofing, utilities, and waste management systems, aligning acquisitions with Army installation resilience priorities. Forde maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including FEDERAL ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC, ALL AMERICAN AA LLC, C. ORTIZ, CORP, GLOBE BUILDERS, INC., and PIONEER ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade construction and facility maintenance. His contracting approach prioritizes performance history, safety compliance, and on-time delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and quality assurance. His procurement patterns reveal a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation without compromising mission needs. He actively leverages small business capabilities across multiple socioeconomic categories, ensuring equitable access while maintaining contract performance standards. Notably, Forde’s acquisition focus is unexpectedly centered on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 423450 (Medical Equipment Wholesalers), alongside 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services). This suggests a specialized, non-traditional procurement profile—likely supporting medical facility operations, clinical laundry services, and related logistics at Fort Bliss’s garrison medical infrastructure, demonstrating nuanced expertise in niche healthcare support domains within a military installation context.
