SFC Kenetta Meares

SFC Kenetta Meares 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 acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Western United States. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, environmental, and facility support services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with the Army’s operational readiness goals. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, mission-critical contracts requiring technical oversight, performance-based specifications, and stringent environmental compliance standards. SFC Meares maintains established relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which demonstrate proven capacity in heavy civil and institutional construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance history, safety compliance, and regional expertise, particularly with firms experienced in Western U.S. terrain and climate challenges. She prioritizes reliability and technical proficiency over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative relationships that support mission continuity. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. However, she consistently allocates 16.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements or competitive integrity. SFC Meares specializes in NAICS categories 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), each representing one-third of her portfolio, alongside significant activity in 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors). Her technical expertise spans infrastructure resilience, facility lifecycle management, and environmental remediation, making her a key conduit for delivering durable, compliant, and mission-ready Army installations.
