Vernon Simpkins

Vernon Simpkins serves as a key procurement lead within the W075 Endist Sacramento office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of military facility contracts, including construction, environmental remediation, and facility maintenance. He plays a central role in ensuring operational readiness by securing services that sustain Army installations, aligning acquisitions with strategic priorities in resilient infrastructure and environmental compliance. His portfolio primarily includes complex, mission-critical contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, often involving multi-year performance-based requirements. Simpkins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, who regularly deliver heavy civil engineering, site development, and facility maintenance services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven, regionally based vendors with demonstrated expertise in military-grade construction and environmental compliance. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on reliability in geographically challenging environments. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 67.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a strong commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (29.4%) and targeted HUBZone awards (2.9%). This balanced approach supports both competition and socioeconomic goals, ensuring small businesses contribute meaningfully to mission-critical infrastructure projects without compromising delivery timelines or technical standards. Simpkins’ technical focus centers on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting expertise in hazardous waste cleanup, earthwork, and large-scale infrastructure projects. He also routinely procures janitorial services (561720) and commercial building construction (236220), demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of facility sustainment domains essential to Army installation readiness.
