Amy Herrera Coody

Amy Coody serves as the primary contracting lead for the W2SD Endist Norfolk under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure projects that sustain and modernize military installations across the Eastern United States. She oversees the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and facility resilience standards. Her portfolio primarily includes heavy civil engineering, institutional building construction, and technical engineering services, with a focus on delivering mission-critical infrastructure such as military housing, administrative facilities, and utility systems. Coody ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing timely delivery and operational continuity for Army garrisons. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc, Vanar Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc, all of whom have demonstrated expertise in large-scale military construction and facility modernization. These partnerships are built on proven performance, adherence to Army safety and quality standards, and reliable execution of complex, time-sensitive projects. Coody’s contracting approach emphasizes contractor accountability, performance-based metrics, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Coody’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 31% of her acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to full and open competition, her consistent use of total small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity and expand the pool of qualified defense contractors. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business eligibility to maximize competition and capability. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220). She routinely procures services related to site development, structural reinforcement, utility upgrades, and facility rehabilitation, requiring deep domain knowledge in military construction standards, environmental compliance, and Army Corps of Engineers design criteria.
