Monica McKensey

Monica A. McKensey serves as a key secondary procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She plays a vital role in executing construction and technical services contracts that enable base readiness, nuclear deterrence capabilities, and operational training environments. Her responsibilities include managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex engineering and construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contract awards with strategic defense priorities. She typically handles high-stakes, mission-critical acquisitions involving facility construction, utility infrastructure, and specialized technical services. McKensey maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, electrical systems, transportation logistics, and heavy equipment manufacturing. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering hardened infrastructure and mission-enabling systems under stringent DoD standards, often in remote or high-security locations. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 55% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including a notable 18.2% dedicated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). While no set-aside accounts for nearly half of her awards, the consistent use of total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the defense industrial base among qualified small firms. Her primary technical focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), oil and gas pipeline infrastructure (237120), and highway and bridge construction (237310), with additional emphasis on power and communication line construction (237130) and professional technical services (541990). This reflects deep expertise in managing multidisciplinary projects that integrate physical infrastructure with mission-critical utility systems essential to Army readiness and strategic deterrence.
