Mary Spencer

Mary Spencer serves as a Small Business Specialist for W075 Endist Los Angeles under the Department of the Army, supporting the procurement of critical infrastructure services essential to military readiness. In this role, she facilitates the integration of small business capabilities into large-scale construction and facility support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal socioeconomic goals while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to sustain Army installations through commercial and institutional building, heavy civil engineering, and facility operations services. She works closely with contracting officers to identify qualified small business vendors, evaluate subcontracting plans, and promote equitable access to federal opportunities within the defense construction sector. Mary collaborates regularly with a core group of established contractors including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, KORTE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, BFBC LLC, MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and WU & ASSOCIATES INC, all of which possess proven expertise in military facility construction, repair, and engineering support. Her working relationships are characterized by consistent engagement, proactive outreach, and structured mentorship to ensure performance reliability and regulatory compliance. While these prime contractors dominate award activity, she actively encourages their inclusion of small business subcontractors to meet broader socioeconomic objectives. Despite her dedicated role as a Small Business Specialist, Mary’s current procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition for complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects. This does not diminish her commitment to small business participation; rather, she ensures robust subcontracting goals are embedded in every solicitation and rigorously monitored during contract execution, promoting meaningful small business involvement without relying on set-asides. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS categories related to commercial and institutional building construction, heavy and civil engineering, and facility support services. She possesses deep familiarity with the unique demands of military construction, including compliance with UFC standards, environmental regulations, and rapid deployment requirements, making her a vital liaison between small business capabilities and the Army’s operational infrastructure needs.
