Willie E. Hodges serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility support services critical to sustaining military infrastructure. Responsible for managing complex construction and maintenance contracts, Hodges ensures alignment with Army installation readiness goals by facilitating timely delivery of essential services such as roadway rehabilitation, water and wastewater system upgrades, and military housing operations. His acquisitions span the full lifecycle of facility sustainment, from planning and design to construction and long-term maintenance, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure resilience. Hodges maintains consistent working relationships with leading engineering and environmental service providers, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., and HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, environmental remediation, and large-scale infrastructure projects. His procurement approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with federal construction standards, often leveraging joint ventures to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary solutions. A significant portion of Hodges’ portfolio supports small business participation, with 41% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in infrastructure projects such as airfields, utilities, and site development. Secondary areas include commercial machinery maintenance and surveying services, underscoring a technical proficiency in integrated facility lifecycle management and environmental compliance.
