Amanda Willis

Amanda Willis serves as a key procurement lead within Charles County Government, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen civic infrastructure and public services across southern Maryland. In her role, she manages the acquisition of critical public works and utility systems, overseeing contracts related to water supply, wastewater infrastructure, transportation construction, and environmental waste management. Her work ensures alignment with the county’s strategic priorities in resilient infrastructure development, particularly in stormwater management and stream restoration initiatives. Willis handles complex, high-impact procurements under federal and state compliance frameworks, often coordinating with engineering, environmental, and public works departments to define technical requirements and evaluate vendor proposals. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Willis engages with a broad spectrum of civil engineering and environmental service providers, including firms specializing in heavy construction, water system design, and hazardous waste handling. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering technically robust, sustainably designed solutions. She prioritizes transparency, competitive bidding, and adherence to Maryland’s public procurement statutes. Willis does not utilize set-aside programs, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure value through broad vendor engagement, rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on capability and compliance over targeted socioeconomic categories. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 221310, 237110, 237310, and 237990, corresponding to water and sewer line construction, highway and bridge projects, and other heavy civil engineering works. She also manages acquisitions under 562998 for specialized waste management services. Willis demonstrates deep technical expertise in civil infrastructure procurement, with a strong command of engineering specifications, environmental regulations, and public works contract administration.
