Susan E. Gross

Susan E. Gross serves as a Contract Specialist within the W074 Endist Mobile unit of the Department of the Army, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical military infrastructure resilience. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts for large-scale construction, civil engineering, and environmental remediation services essential to maintaining operational readiness across Army installations. She specializes in complex, high-stakes acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to modernize defense-related facilities and infrastructure. Gross 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 experienced, full-service providers capable of delivering integrated construction and maintenance solutions across diverse military environments. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term contract administration to ensure quality and mission continuity. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on open competition to achieve optimal value and technical capability, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow equitable access for qualified vendors. Gross’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 83.3% of her activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services). She routinely manages contracts for new construction, facility upgrades, site development, and environmental restoration, demonstrating deep expertise in heavy civil construction, building systems integration, and landscape management for federal installations.
