Alysha MacDonald

Alysha MacDonald supports the procurement mission of W2SD Endist New England, a U.S. Army installation support organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure across New England. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and environmental service contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness at Army installations. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on facilities, transportation corridors, water control systems, and utility upgrades. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic infrastructure resilience goals. MacDonald maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AGATE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., AGM MARINE CONTRACTORS INC, EDWARD PAIGE CORPORATION, ENVIROLOGICS INC, and JP SOLUTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in civil works, environmental remediation, and heavy construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term contractor reliability, fostering stable, mission-critical collaborations that support sustained infrastructure operations. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with approximately 77% of awards issued under no set-aside authority. However, she actively promotes small business participation, allocating roughly 21% of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a smaller but intentional portion to HUBZone firms. This reflects a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic objectives, ensuring broad vendor access while maintaining mission-critical standards. Her primary technical focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), followed by highway and bridge construction (237310) and other heavy civil engineering (237990). She routinely procures services related to structural upgrades, utility modernization, environmental compliance, and building systems integration, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of military infrastructure needs and federal construction contracting requirements.
