CPT Mike Liotta

Mike Liotta serves as a DOFE Project Manager within the W7M9 USPFO Activity KS ARNG, a critical component of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military infrastructure readiness. In this role, he leads the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and facility support contracts essential to operational force readiness. His acquisitions focus on the design, renovation, and installation of commercial and industrial facilities that house training, logistics, and operational units, ensuring compliance with Army engineering standards and lifecycle sustainment requirements. He works closely with design professionals, general contractors, and specialty trades to deliver mission-critical infrastructure on schedule and within regulatory frameworks. Liotta maintains collaborative relationships with a network of qualified contractors specializing in electrical systems, commercial building construction, and building equipment installation. He engages primarily with firms possessing proven experience in military facility projects, emphasizing performance history, safety compliance, and adherence to UFC and AR 420-1 standards. His procurement approach favors established vendors with demonstrated capacity to execute complex, multi-trade projects under tight operational timelines, often coordinating with Army Corps of Engineers and installation engineers to align deliverables with unit readiness goals. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside procedures. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he actively considers small businesses as subcontractors within larger prime contracts, encouraging teaming arrangements that enhance competition and technical capability without compromising project scale or mission urgency. Liotta’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 (electrical contractors), 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), and 238290 (other building equipment contractors). He routinely procures services related to power distribution systems, HVAC integration, fire alarm installations, lighting retrofits, and structural upgrades for barracks, maintenance shops, and command centers, demonstrating deep technical expertise in military facility modernization and infrastructure resilience.
