Allison L Scannell

Allison L. Scannell serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition programs for Department of Defense installations. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—for large-scale construction and environmental remediation projects. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain military readiness through the construction, renovation, and maintenance of critical federal facilities, including transportation systems, utilities, and hazardous site cleanup efforts. Scannell specializes in fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements while delivering mission-critical infrastructure on schedule. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of experienced prime contractors, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, Matthews Group Inc., Curtin Maritime Corp., and Cheroenhaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine works, and environmental restoration. Scannell’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor evaluation, and collaborative contract management to ensure quality and accountability across high-risk, high-visibility projects. Scannell’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and technical capability over socioeconomic classification, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, large-scale construction capacity. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing dredging, earthmoving, structural foundations, and large-scale infrastructure rehabilitation. She specializes in acquiring services requiring advanced engineering expertise, heavy equipment deployment, and strict adherence to environmental and safety standards, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in military and federal civil works construction.
