Thomas Gulihur

Thomas Gulihur serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of nonresidential facility leasing and infrastructure support services critical to sustaining Army installations across the continental United States. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contract actions for long-term real property leases, facility maintenance support, and related construction services aligned with the Army’s mission to modernize barracks and institutional facilities. Gulihur specializes in competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 36, ensuring compliance with federal real property management standards and environmental compliance requirements. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc, and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom deliver integrated facility operations, maintenance, and construction management services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures, reflecting a preference for proven contractors with demonstrated expertise in military installation support and facility sustainment. Gulihur’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in award structure, all acquisitions remain compliant with federal small business goals through subcontracting plans and vendor diversity tracking. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—which encompasses long-term lease agreements for military housing, administrative facilities, and support infrastructure. This specialization requires deep familiarity with federal real property law, lease negotiation protocols, and facility condition assessments, positioning Gulihur as a subject matter expert in institutional real estate acquisition for the Army’s installation sustainment mission.
