Tracy Gluck

Tracy Gluck serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the U.S. Army Engineer District Walla Walla, supporting the execution of civil and military engineering contracts critical to infrastructure resilience across the Pacific Northwest. While not the primary contracting officer, Gluck plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for projects involving water resource management, flood control, and installation support. Their work centers on complex infrastructure procurements related to dams, levees, locks, and hydropower facilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning contracting actions with the district’s operational priorities. Gluck maintains consistent engagement with a core group of regional contractors including JR MERIT, INC., NORTHBANK CIVIL AND MARINE, INC., NORTH WIND GENERAL CONTRACTORS LLC, KNIGHT CONST. & SUPPLY, INC., and TRANSCO INDUSTRIES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering specialized civil works, marine construction, and mechanical system integration services. The working relationships are characterized by sustained collaboration, repeat engagements, and a focus on technical proficiency in heavy civil infrastructure and environmental compliance. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Gluck’s procurement patterns, with over half of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among local and regional small businesses, particularly those with expertise in construction, marine services, and industrial equipment. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to inclusive contracting practices. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS categories related to mechanical and industrial manufacturing and construction, including 326291 (rubber products for mechanical use), 333415 (commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment), 332321 (metal window and door manufacturing), 336612 (boat building), and 541380 (testing laboratories). These reflect the district’s need for specialized components and quality assurance services supporting hydraulic structures, navigation systems, and environmental monitoring infrastructure.
