Loretta E Parris

Loretta E. Parris serves as a Contract Specialist with the W2SD Endist New York under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that support the sustainment and modernization of critical civil and military infrastructure across the Northeast. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for construction, engineering, and facility services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission of enhancing operational readiness through resilient infrastructure. She routinely handles complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build, performance-based, and fixed-price arrangements for public works projects. Parris maintains established working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in military and institutional construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical competence, past performance, and reliability, often leveraging joint ventures to deliver large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects efficiently. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among qualified small firms. While no set-aside programs dominate, her portfolio consistently includes small business concerns across multiple socioeconomic categories, aligning with Department of the Army goals for equitable access. Parris specializes in procurements under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant activity in heavy civil construction (237990) and architectural services (541310). Her technical domain expertise spans facility rehabilitation, utility system upgrades, and environmental infrastructure projects, requiring precise coordination between design professionals, contractors, and engineering staff to meet stringent military standards.
