Nancy L. Carpenter

Nancy L. Carpenter serves as a Purchasing Agent for W071 Endist Portland under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing infrastructure resilience across the Pacific Northwest. She manages the acquisition of heavy civil engineering services, specialized technical support, and maintenance solutions critical to federal waterways, hydropower systems, and flood control infrastructure. Her procurement activities directly support operational readiness by ensuring the functionality and environmental compliance of defense-related facilities. Carpenter routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight and regulatory adherence, particularly in areas involving structural integrity, environmental remediation, and utility system modernization. She maintains established relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., HDR ENGINEERING INC, TETRA TECH, INC., and CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in civil works, environmental engineering, and federal facility maintenance. Carpenter fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize technical compliance, schedule adherence, and sustainable infrastructure outcomes. Her procurement strategy balances broad competition with targeted small business engagement, allocating 40% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the remaining 60% remain open to all competitors. This approach reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity within the small business community without compromising mission-critical requirements. She actively encourages participation from small businesses capable of delivering specialized engineering and construction services. Nancy’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), 334515 (electrical measurement instrument manufacturing), 721211 (RV parks and campgrounds), 511210 (software publishing), and 333923 (overhead crane system manufacturing). These reflect a unique blend of facility support equipment, instrumentation for monitoring infrastructure performance, and ancillary services tied to federal land and waterway operations. Her expertise spans both technical procurement and cross-functional coordination across engineering, environmental, and facilities management domains.
