Tracey S. Mckay

Tracey S. McKay serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Omaha office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil engineering and infrastructure contracts that sustain and modernize critical defense installations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enable strategic deterrence through the construction and maintenance of hardened facilities, utility corridors, and base-level infrastructure essential to military readiness. She specializes in acquiring heavy civil engineering services under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on water and sewer systems, earthmoving, and large-scale site development projects that align with Department of Defense resilience and modernization priorities. McKay maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure, utility integration, and heavy equipment deployment. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and reliability in high-stakes operational environments, fostering collaborative, mission-critical vendor relationships grounded in past performance and regulatory adherence. A defining feature of McKay’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting promotes equitable access to defense opportunities and strengthens the capacity of small, qualified firms to deliver essential infrastructure services across the Army’s footprint. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), where she procures services including pipeline installation, stormwater management, graded foundations, and site preparation for sensitive military facilities. Her domain expertise lies in the integration of civil works with operational security requirements, ensuring infrastructure meets stringent DoD standards for durability, sustainability, and mission continuity.
