Mark A. Hiscox

Mark Hiscox serves as the primary contracting lead for the U.S. Army Engineering Support Center in Huntsville, overseeing a diverse portfolio of engineering, construction, and mission-enabling service acquisitions. Responsible for executing full lifecycle procurement actions under the W912DY contracting vehicle, he ensures alignment with Army infrastructure modernization goals and operational readiness requirements. His acquisitions span facility construction, technical training, environmental remediation, and IT-enabled logistics support, with a focus on delivering resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across domestic and overseas installations. His role is central to translating engineering requirements into compliant, efficient contract actions that meet DoD standards and sustain Army capabilities. Hiscox maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including AECOM International Inc., CMS Corporation, WSP ITALIA S.R.L., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., reflecting a preference for firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction and environmental compliance. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and long-term performance reliability, indicating a reliance on pre-vetted, high-capacity vendors capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent security and regulatory frameworks. His procurement approach prioritizes technical proficiency and past performance over speculative bidding. His contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 70.6% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 26.5% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 2.9% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission needs. Hiscox’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting heavy investment in facility upgrades and new construction for Army installations. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), underscoring expertise in integrated infrastructure modernization, technical workforce development, and mission-critical engineering services.
