Mark S Klinglesmith

Mark S. Klinglesmith serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition programs critical to military installation readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the Army’s strategic priorities in resilient infrastructure, energy security, and utilities modernization. His portfolio primarily encompasses real estate leasing and related civil works services essential to sustaining and upgrading military bases across the continental United States. Klinglesmith maintains consistent working relationships with established general 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 experienced, full-service construction firms capable of delivering complex infrastructure projects under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers standards for facility sustainment and modernization. His procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This pattern indicates a focus on capability, capacity, and mission-critical delivery rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for large-scale, high-complexity infrastructure execution without restriction. The primary NAICS classification under his purview is 531190—Lessors of Other Real Estate Property—indicating a specialized focus on long-term land and facility leasing arrangements that support military operations. Rather than traditional construction contracting, his work centers on securing real property interests, including site acquisition, leasehold improvements, and infrastructure integration services tied to leased military facilities. This reflects deep expertise in real estate asset management within federal defense contexts, ensuring operational continuity through secure, compliant, and mission-ready property holdings.
