Penny E. Lett

Penny E. Lett serves as a key procurement professional within W074 Endist Mobile, a critical unit of the Department of the Army responsible for delivering large-scale construction, engineering, and environmental services to sustain military infrastructure readiness. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for complex, mission-critical contracts centered on commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and integrated environmental remediation. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to modernize defense facilities and ensure operational resilience through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting actions. Lett maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including ROYCE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, ARELI, INC., FACILITY SERVICES MANAGEMENT, INC., J & J MAINTENANCE INC, and THE ROBINS & MORTON GROUP. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade construction, facility maintenance, and environmental compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, stringent quality controls, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in regulatory adherence and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to maximize small business participation without compromising access to qualified large firms, ensuring competitive rigor while advancing Army-wide small business objectives. Lett’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330—Engineering Services—encompassing design, planning, and technical oversight for infrastructure projects. She procures specialized services including structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, environmental impact assessments, and construction management, requiring deep domain expertise in defense facility standards and federal construction codes. Her technical acumen ensures that all acquisitions meet stringent military engineering specifications and sustainability requirements.
