Vernon N. Valigura

Vernon N. Valigura serves as a Contract Administrator for the W076 Endist Ft Worth under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization initiatives across continental U.S. military installations. He manages the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes in barracks renovation, institutional facility upgrades, and grounds maintenance. His acquisitions directly support the Army’s operational readiness by delivering safe, functional, and environmentally compliant installations through timely and transparent contracting processes. Valigura maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom consistently deliver complex commercial and institutional construction services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and firm-fixed-price mechanisms, fostering collaborative partnerships with contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in military facility standards and rapid turnaround timelines. These relationships are built on reliability, adherence to safety protocols, and consistent quality assurance, enabling efficient delivery of mission-critical infrastructure projects. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports socioeconomic goals by allocating 12.5% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides and another 12.5% to HUBZone contractors, demonstrating balanced commitment to both efficiency and small business inclusion. He does not routinely utilize 8(a) or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad-based competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for qualified small and HUBZone firms. Valigura’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 87.5% of his portfolio, encompassing new construction, renovation, and repair of military housing and administrative facilities. The remaining 12.5% involves NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), including design, structural analysis, and construction management support. His technical expertise centers on DoD facility standards, building code compliance, and integrated project delivery methods tailored to federal installation requirements.
