Zenita N. Dale

Zenita N. Dale serves as a Contract Specialist for W2SN Endist Alaska under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical civil engineering and infrastructure construction services to sustain military installations in Alaska’s extreme and remote environments. Her role centers on executing full-cycle contracting for facility construction, environmental remediation, and base modernization projects, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and Army engineering standards. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational readiness requirements into legally sound, technically precise procurement actions that support long-term infrastructure resilience in austere climates. Dale maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., R&M Consultants, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and WSP USA Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, environmental permitting, and site development under harsh Arctic conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and collaborative contract administration to ensure quality and mission alignment. A defining feature of Dale’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting and small business development. Every acquisition she manages is structured to provide meaningful opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses with the technical capacity to deliver complex civil engineering services, reinforcing the Army’s mandate to foster equitable access to defense contracting. Her primary focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she procures turnkey construction, facility upgrades, and infrastructure rehabilitation services tailored to defense installations. Her technical domain expertise lies in integrating environmental compliance, geotechnical considerations, and climate-resilient design into construction contracts, ensuring projects meet both operational and regulatory standards in one of the nation’s most challenging operational theaters.
