Abby Lorenz

Abby Lorenz serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Buffalo office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil works and infrastructure contracts critical to national defense readiness. She oversees the acquisition of specialized engineering and construction services focused on water resource infrastructure, including dredging, channel maintenance, and environmental remediation of contaminated sites. Her role is central to executing the agency’s mission of sustaining navigable waterways and reinforcing coastal and inland defense-related infrastructure through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting actions. Lorenz maintains a primary working relationship with MBX Builders LLC, a trusted contractor with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction and environmental restoration projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing proven experience in military-grade infrastructure delivery, particularly in hydrologic engineering and sediment management. She consistently engages contractors capable of meeting stringent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standards and environmental compliance protocols. Lorenz’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing vendor qualifications, past performance, and compliance with federal construction codes over targeted small business set-asides. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—indicating a specialized need for advanced hydrographic survey equipment, underwater navigation systems, and precision instrumentation used in dredging operations and environmental monitoring. She procures high-accuracy sonar arrays, real-time water quality sensors, and integrated geospatial data platforms essential to modern civil works execution, demonstrating deep technical domain expertise in maritime and aquatic infrastructure systems.
