Amanda Zawieruszynski

Amanda Zawieruszynski serves as a secondary procurement professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver critical civil and military infrastructure through strategic contracting. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, contract administration, and vendor coordination for specialized trade and training services. Her work ensures alignment with USACE’s priorities in infrastructure modernization, environmental restoration, and workforce development, particularly in projects requiring niche technical expertise and compliance with federal construction and training standards. Her contractor relationships primarily involve specialty trade contractors and professional training providers, often engaging firms with deep experience in site-specific construction, hazardous material abatement, and workforce upskilling programs. Though no primary contractors are identified, her procurement activities consistently interface with vendors capable of delivering high-compliance, performance-based services under complex federal construction and operational environments. She collaborates closely with program managers and technical specialists to define requirements and evaluate vendor capabilities in accordance with FAR and DFARS guidelines. Amanda’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories, though she remains compliant with all small business participation goals as mandated by agency policy. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and performance history over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USACE’s emphasis on mission-critical delivery over mandated set-asides. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She routinely manages contracts for specialized construction services such as dam repairs, erosion control, and site remediation, alongside workforce training initiatives in engineering safety, project management, and environmental compliance. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of federal construction standards and adult learning methodologies, ensuring that both physical infrastructure and human capital are developed to sustain long-term operational readiness.
