Mary H. Chong

Mary H. Chong serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Sacramento office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Western United States. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness through facility lifecycle management, environmental compliance, and resilient construction. She primarily handles contract actions under NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, with additional focus on heavy civil engineering and pipeline-related infrastructure. Her acquisitions encompass design-build, construction management, and repair services essential to Army installations, ensuring alignment with federal construction standards and sustainability requirements. Chong maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which have demonstrated proven capacity in delivering complex construction and site development services under federal guidelines. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with regional expertise, proven performance histories, and experience navigating Army-specific regulatory and environmental protocols. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and on-time delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaborations built on accountability and technical proficiency. Her contracting patterns show a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small firms in the construction sector. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and actively encourages participation from firms certified under HUBZone, SDB, and other socioeconomic programs, aligning with Department of Defense goals for inclusive contracting. Her technical domain centers on commercial and institutional building construction, with secondary focus on heavy civil engineering and pipeline infrastructure. She procures services including facility upgrades, utility system rehabilitation, site grading, and environmental remediation—ensuring Army installations meet current operational, safety, and sustainability standards.
