Ned McCormick

Ned McCormick serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NH Uspfo Activity Msang 186, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts, with primary focus on commercial and institutional building construction, security systems integration, and essential base operations services. His role ensures alignment between operational readiness requirements and acquisition strategies, facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure through compliant, transparent contracting processes. McCormick’s work directly enables the functionality and safety of Army installations by securing high-integrity services that meet federal standards for durability, security, and sustainability. His primary contractor relationships center on AT&T Corp., reflecting a consistent reliance on large-scale telecommunications and integrated systems providers for infrastructure-enabled communications and security solutions. While major vendors like AT&T feature prominently in his portfolio, McCormick’s contracting approach maintains a strong emphasis on small business participation, often partnering with specialized subcontractors and prime contractors certified under socioeconomic programs. His engagement patterns suggest a strategic balance between leveraging large-scale vendor capabilities and fostering competitive small business involvement through set-aside mechanisms. McCormick demonstrates an exceptional commitment to small business procurement, with over 90% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained effort to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including 8(a) firms, HUBZone contractors, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged entities. His contracting patterns prioritize inclusivity and market diversity, ensuring broad access to federal opportunities while maintaining high standards for performance and compliance. His technical focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—indicating deep expertise in managing complex construction projects for military facilities. He also routinely procures security systems services, building equipment installation, and janitorial support, demonstrating domain-specific knowledge in infrastructure lifecycle management. This specialization positions him as a subject matter expert in the integration of physical infrastructure with operational readiness requirements across Army installations.
