Monica H Bardsley

Monica H. Bardsley serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SN Endist Alaska office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition programs critical to sustaining military operations in Alaska’s extreme environments. She oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for facility construction, environmental remediation, and base modernization projects, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal acquisition regulations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through resilient, climate-adapted infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on long-term facility sustainment and environmental compliance. Bardsley maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., Shannon & Wilson Inc., R&M Consultants, Inc., Unit Company, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in remote-site construction, geotechnical engineering, and environmental remediation in Arctic and sub-Arctic conditions. Her procurement approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance in austere environments, and local knowledge, fostering long-term vendor collaboration over transactional engagements. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 30% of awards designated for total small business set-asides, 10% for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and 10% for 8(a) competed contracts. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of set-asides reflects a strategic effort to expand opportunities for qualified small and disadvantaged businesses in defense infrastructure markets. Bardsley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting her specialization in base infrastructure projects such as barracks, utilities, roads, and airfield construction. She also procures related materials through 423310 and 424910, indicating direct sourcing of lumber, millwork, and farm supplies for remote site development. Her technical domain expertise centers on cold-weather construction methodologies, environmental permitting, and sustainable infrastructure solutions tailored to Alaska’s unique operational demands.
