Stephanie R. Kretzer

Stephanie Kretzer serves as a key procurement specialist within the W071 Endist Kansas City office under the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military infrastructure. She plays a critical role in managing construction, engineering, and environmental remediation contracts that ensure the operational readiness of Army installations. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for civil engineering projects, facility maintenance, and utility system upgrades, with a focus on delivering mission-critical services across military housing, water and wastewater systems, and transportation infrastructure. Kretzer’s acquisitions are primarily performance-based, emphasizing compliance with FAR guidelines and lifecycle cost efficiency. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading contractors such as HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, often engaging joint ventures and multidisciplinary teams for complex, integrated projects. Her procurement approach favors experienced firms with proven track records in military facility support, environmental compliance, and large-scale construction delivery, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure technical reliability and mission alignment. Kretzer’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 72% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with nearly a quarter of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and a targeted 3.5% allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by water and sewer infrastructure (237110), engineering services (541330), and environmental remediation (562910). She routinely manages contracts for structural upgrades, plumbing and HVAC systems, and hazardous material abatement, underscoring deep expertise in military facility sustainment and compliance with DoD environmental standards.
