Steven Stocking

Steven Stocking serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NF Uspfo Activity Miang 127, part of the Department of the Army, where he manages site preparation and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to military installation readiness. His role centers on executing contracts for earthwork, grading, drainage, and utility trenching essential to airfield, building, and utility system sustainment. He ensures compliance with Army engineering standards and environmental regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals for base resilience and operational continuity. Stocking’s acquisitions are exclusively focused on pre-construction and site development activities, enabling downstream construction efforts across Army installations. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Stocking consistently engages with a network of qualified site preparation specialists, including general contractors with civil works expertise and firms holding relevant OSHA and EPA certifications. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring adherence to military construction specifications and rigorous quality assurance protocols. Vendor partnerships are typically long-term, built on demonstrated capability in complex terrain work and rapid mobilization under operational constraints. Stocking maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All site preparation contracts are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with a strong preference for firms certified under HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) programs. This pattern ensures broad participation from economically disadvantaged communities and veteran-led enterprises, reinforcing the Army’s mandate for equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 238910, Site Preparation Contractors, encompassing excavation, land clearing, compaction, and temporary erosion control. He procures services tied to ground improvement, stormwater management systems, and utility corridor preparation—critical precursors to facility construction. Stocking’s expertise lies in evaluating contractor capacity for high-volume, time-sensitive earthwork under austere conditions, ensuring mission-critical infrastructure remains operational and compliant with DoD environmental and safety standards.
