Teresa Cabanting

Teresa Cabanting serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts, ensuring operational readiness through the acquisition of civil engineering services, building maintenance, and environmental remediation solutions. Her work directly enables the Army’s installation resilience by facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure projects, from military housing upgrades to water and wastewater system improvements. Cabanting routinely handles full and open competitions as well as small business set-asides under FAR Part 19, aligning acquisitions with strategic Army sustainability and readiness goals. She maintains established working relationships with leading engineering and environmental services contractors, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for integrated service providers capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary solutions across construction, environmental compliance, and facility operations. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging joint ventures and experienced prime contractors to meet technical demands and schedule constraints on high-priority installations. Cabanting demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among small, certified firms, particularly in construction and facility services. While no set-aside awards account for the remaining third, they are typically reserved for unique technical requirements or urgent mission needs requiring specialized large-capacity vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity also in janitorial services (561720), power and communication line construction (237130), and concrete product manufacturing (327390). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility services that support the lifecycle management of Army installations, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards and military construction codes.
