Lequita Byrd-Craig

Lequita Byrd-Craig serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Western United States. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, environmental remediation, and civil engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the Army’s operational readiness goals. Her work directly supports facility lifecycle management, resilient infrastructure development, and environmental compliance initiatives essential to maintaining Army installations. Byrd-Craig maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in complex government projects, particularly those requiring regional expertise in harsh or remote environments. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history over frequent vendor rotation, fostering long-term accountability and quality outcomes. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.2% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven focus on capability and timeliness. Only 4.8% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but intentional approach to small business participation when market conditions and project requirements align. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by remediation services (562910), highway and bridge construction (237310), and other heavy civil engineering (237990). She specializes in procuring turnkey construction, site development, water and sewer infrastructure, and environmental cleanup services, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of military facility needs and civil engineering standards.
