Yvonne Howard

Yvonne Howard serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction and facility support contracts essential to sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize barracks, institutional facilities, and grounds management systems through integrated contracting strategies. She primarily handles acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for commercial and institutional construction, maintenance services, and related professional support, ensuring compliance with federal standards for safety, environmental stewardship, and operational readiness. Howard maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of established contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc, and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom deliver complex construction and renovation services across military installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and quality assurance in facility upgrades. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in federal construction environments and a track record of meeting stringent DoD compliance requirements. She exhibits a strong and consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms, aligning with Army-wide socioeconomic goals and fostering regional economic resilience through contracting. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), with significant activity also in real estate appraisal, title services, and physician office support—indicating a broad-based approach to facility lifecycle management. This multidisciplinary portfolio underscores her expertise in coordinating construction, maintenance, and ancillary professional services to ensure mission-critical installations remain functional, compliant, and mission-ready.
