Nikole May

Nikole VR May serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Western United States. She manages the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and environmental compliance standards. Her acquisitions primarily involve heavy civil engineering, institutional building, and utility infrastructure projects, requiring rigorous adherence to FAR regulations and federal construction standards. Nikole’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain operational resilience through lifecycle management of Army installations. Nikole maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Far West Contractors Corp, and Aleut Construction LLC, all of whom possess proven capabilities in complex civil works and site development. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with regional expertise and demonstrated performance on federal infrastructure projects. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance evaluation, and technical competency, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining strict compliance with federal acquisition protocols. Nikole’s procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly one-third of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a smaller but intentional focus on 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to promote broad-based participation from qualified small businesses, particularly those with construction and engineering capabilities aligned with Army infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), complemented by significant activity in commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and specialized trade contracting (238990). She regularly manages contracts for water and sewer systems, power and communication infrastructure, and site development projects, demonstrating deep technical expertise in civil works and facility sustainment within the military construction domain.
