Terry Zenker

Terry Zenker serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist St Paul, a U.S. Army installation supporting critical civil engineering and logistics infrastructure across the continental United States. Responsible for managing acquisition strategies for maintenance, construction, and operational support services, Zenker ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military facilities—including roads, bridges, water systems, and recreational assets. Their contracting portfolio emphasizes lifecycle management of heavy civil infrastructure, with a focus on performance-based acquisitions under FAR Part 37 and service contract guidelines. Zenker routinely oversees solicitations requiring technical compliance with Army Corps of Engineers standards and environmental regulatory frameworks. Zenker maintains enduring relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in infrastructure support, including JT LAWN SERVICE, LLC for grounds maintenance, JOHN FABICK TRACTOR CO for heavy equipment servicing, LUMIN ADVANTAGE CONSULTING COMPANY for engineering advisory services, R.B. NATIONAL, LTD. CO. for material logistics, and AMERICAN MATERIAL HANDLING, INC. for material handling systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven field expertise in military-grade infrastructure maintenance and rapid-response capabilities. Contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, geographically proximate vendors capable of supporting time-sensitive, mission-critical operations across diverse terrain and climate conditions. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Zenker’s socioeconomic contracting strategy, with over 63% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Women-owned small businesses represent a modest but intentional component of the portfolio, reflecting deliberate outreach to diverse suppliers. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with Department of Defense mandates to enhance vendor diversity and build resilient local supply chains. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), with additional focus on 562991 (Septic Tank Services) and 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing). These reflect the agency’s operational need for integrated facility sustainment services, including waste management, groundskeeping, and equipment maintenance—domains requiring specialized technical knowledge and compliance with military environmental and safety standards.
