BettyeLou Mahoney

BettyeLou Mahoney serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing contracts that sustain critical infrastructure and environmental services at federal water resource and recreation sites across Arkansas. She oversees the acquisition of landscaping, janitorial, waste management, and light construction services essential to maintaining public access to lakes, reservoirs, and associated facilities. Her role is central to ensuring operational continuity and compliance with federal environmental and public access mandates, with a focus on performance-based contracts that emphasize long-term service delivery and mission readiness. Mahoney maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering integrated environmental and facilities support under complex federal requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and the ability to operate in sensitive natural resource environments, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in consistent performance and adaptability to seasonal and emergency operational needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Mahoney consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, allocating 75% of her acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the region while leveraging the agility and specialized capabilities of small firms in landscaping, environmental remediation, and light construction. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals, with minimal use of open competitions and a clear preference for set-aside mechanisms that promote equitable access to federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with additional activity in facilities support services. She specializes in acquiring services that maintain recreational infrastructure, manage erosion control, and support sustainable site operations—demonstrating deep expertise in environmental stewardship and civil works contracting within the Army Corps’ mission framework.
