Thomas Howard

Thomas Howard serves as the primary procurement lead for W076 Endist Tulsa, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure across public and operational lands. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of civil engineering and environmental service contracts, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while advancing facility readiness and environmental stewardship. His acquisitions focus on heavy civil construction, site preparation, remediation, and landscape design services essential to maintaining Army installations, recreational facilities, and regulatory compliance frameworks. Howard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, McKeen Construction & Site Development LLC, Alberici Constructors Inc., McMILLen, Inc., and Perikin Enterprises LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in large-scale earthwork, infrastructure rehabilitation, and environmental remediation. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical competency, and long-term reliability, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent military standards. His procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, Howard consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with specialized capabilities in civil construction and environmental services, aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. His technical domain centers on NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting a focus on grading, excavation, soil stabilization, hazardous material cleanup, and land restoration. He also regularly procures landscape architectural services and other heavy civil engineering construction under NAICS 541320 and 237990, demonstrating expertise in integrated infrastructure projects that balance functionality, sustainability, and regulatory compliance across military installations.
