Morgan K. Strong

Morgan K. Strong serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure construction services critical to sustaining and modernizing military installations across the continental United States. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions under the Army Corps of Engineers’ civil works and facility sustainment programs, Strong ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing strategic priorities in resilient infrastructure, energy security, and operational readiness. Their portfolio primarily encompasses large-scale construction and renovation projects for barracks, training facilities, utilities, and site development systems essential to Army readiness. Strong maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced construction contractors, including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J.E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service general contractors capable of delivering integrated building and site development solutions under tight operational timelines. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, robust safety protocols, and adherence to military construction standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and technical competence. While the majority of procurements are conducted as unrestricted competitions (69.7%), Strong demonstrates a structured commitment to small business participation, with approximately 25.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Smaller allocations support Women-Owned Small Businesses (2.3%), HUBZone firms (1.1%), and 8(a) competed contracts (1.1%), reflecting a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. The procurement focus is heavily concentrated in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), accounting for over half of all activity, followed by specialized roofing (238160) and site development services. Additional procurements include janitorial support and environmental consulting, underscoring a holistic approach to facility lifecycle management and compliance with DoD sustainability directives.
