Shalon Willis

Shalon Willis serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-JB Lewis-McChord, a Department of the Army installation responsible for sustaining the operational readiness of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. In this role, Willis manages the acquisition of facilities and infrastructure services critical to maintaining mission-critical military environments, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and energy efficiency standards. Their procurement activities center on commercial and institutional building construction, overseeing contracts that support barracks, administrative facilities, and utility systems essential to daily base operations. Willis operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, prioritizing timely, compliant, and mission-aligned outcomes that directly enhance the quality of life for service members and civilian personnel. Willis maintains a focused contractor relationship with the Port of Moses Lake as the primary awardee for construction services, reflecting a strategic preference for regional partners with proven capacity in military infrastructure projects. While the majority of awards flow through this single vendor, the contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and alignment with base-specific operational requirements. Vendor partnerships are cultivated with an emphasis on long-term contract execution rather than broad competition, ensuring continuity in complex, mission-sensitive construction environments. A defining feature of Willis’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, with 100% of eligible acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, enabling small construction firms to compete equitably for base infrastructure work without competition from large businesses. The consistent application of this policy supports workforce development and regional economic resilience within the Pacific Northwest. Willis specializes exclusively in NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—procuring services related to new construction, renovation, and maintenance of military facilities. Their technical domain expertise lies in managing projects requiring strict adherence to DoD construction standards, energy conservation measures, and environmental remediation protocols, ensuring all infrastructure meets the high operational and safety demands of a joint military installation.
