Markeith Berry

Markeith Berry serves as the primary contracting professional for W076 Endist Ft Worth under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of construction, infrastructure, and facility support services critical to sustaining military installations across the continental United States. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Berry ensures compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize barracks, institutional facilities, and grounds infrastructure. His portfolio primarily includes complex, multi-year contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, highway and bridge works, and integrated security and facility maintenance services, requiring deep expertise in FAR-based acquisition strategies and performance-based contracting. Berry maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., reflecting a preference for established, experienced firms capable of delivering large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, with an emphasis on quality control, safety compliance, and timely delivery. While working with large primes, Berry actively fosters subcontracting opportunities to small businesses, ensuring broader industry participation and technical capacity development across the supply chain. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Berry consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, allocating approximately 70% of his acquisitions to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance competition, promote economic resilience within the defense industrial base, and meet statutory small business participation goals. His procurement patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to inclusive contracting, with minimal reliance on non-set-aside awards. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which constitutes over half of his portfolio, followed by highway and bridge construction (237310) and security systems services (561621). He specializes in procuring integrated facility modernization solutions, including structural upgrades, landscape management, and perimeter security systems, demonstrating expertise in construction management, facility lifecycle planning, and mission-critical infrastructure sustainment.
