Vernon Valigura

Vernon Valigura serves as a key procurement professional within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of construction and facility support services critical to sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for institutional building construction, grounds maintenance, and civil works projects, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the Army’s mission to modernize barracks, enhance installation resilience, and maintain environmental standards. He plays a central role in translating operational needs into legally sound, performance-based solicitations that support long-term readiness and infrastructure sustainability. Valigura maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom have demonstrated reliability in delivering complex construction and facility maintenance services. His procurement approach favors proven performers with proven track records in military construction environments, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, safety, and schedule adherence. While these major firms dominate award volume, he actively cultivates a competitive landscape that encourages both large and small business participation. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Valigura prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 62.5% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, locally-based contractors and promote economic development in surrounding communities. His contracting patterns consistently align with Army goals to increase small business utilization without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or quality standards. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he manages projects involving barracks renovation, administrative facility upgrades, and utility system integration. He also oversees highway and infrastructure projects under NAICS 237310, demonstrating proficiency in civil works procurement. His domain knowledge spans construction management, sustainable building practices, and installation-wide facility sustainment, making him a vital link between engineering requirements and contract execution.
