Levi R. Speth

Levi R. Speth serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure construction services critical to sustaining and modernizing military installations across the continental United States. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions aligned with the Army’s resilience and readiness goals, Speth handles a broad spectrum of construction-related procurements, including facility upgrades, utility system enhancements, and site development projects. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational infrastructure meets current and future force requirements through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned contract awards. Speth maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Thalle - Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J. E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established general contractors with proven capabilities in commercial and institutional construction, roofing, and site development. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with FAR provisions, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Speth demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 31% of contracts set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. He also regularly incorporates service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone small businesses, reflecting a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to broaden contractor diversity and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. His procurement patterns show thoughtful alignment with statutory small business goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. Speth’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and roofing (238160). His portfolio reflects deep expertise in constructing and rehabilitating barracks, training facilities, and supporting civil infrastructure, requiring coordination across architectural, structural, and utility systems to meet military standards for durability and energy efficiency.
