Tracy Wickham

Tracy Wickham serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SN Endist Alaska office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and environmental remediation services critical to sustaining military infrastructure in Alaska’s extreme and remote environments. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and remediation contracts, Wickham ensures alignment with Department of Defense resilience standards and environmental compliance mandates. Their portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical projects requiring specialized expertise in cold-weather construction, hazardous material abatement, and long-term facility sustainment, often involving multi-year planning and stringent regulatory oversight. Wickham maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in defense infrastructure, including ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE CONSULTANTS, INC., R & M CONSULTANTS, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and WSP USA SOLUTIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in Arctic construction, environmental remediation, and military base modernization. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive procedures that emphasize technical capability, past performance in austere environments, and compliance with federal environmental regulations such as NEPA and RCRA. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Wickham’s procurement patterns, with 80% of acquisitions structured as small business set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster capability development among disadvantaged businesses with expertise in remote infrastructure support. No set-aside awards are limited to specialized services where qualified small businesses are not available, maintaining flexibility without compromising mission needs. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 80% of acquisitions, with additional emphasis on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services). Wickham’s expertise spans the full spectrum of facility construction—from foundations and utilities to climate-resilient structures—and environmental cleanup of contaminated sites, ensuring operational readiness while upholding federal environmental stewardship standards.
