Carol McIntyre

Carol McIntyre serves as Deputy for Small Business at W071 Endist Portland, a U.S. Army installation responsible for sustaining critical civil infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. In this role, she supports the agency’s mission to maintain navigational waterways, hydropower systems, and flood control facilities by ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses. She oversees the integration of socioeconomic goals into the procurement lifecycle, advising on contract structure, small business subcontracting plans, and compliance with federal set-aside regulations. Her acquisitions primarily involve heavy civil engineering, commercial building construction, and specialized technical services for federal facilities. McIntyre maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AECOM B&V PORTLAND AE JV, CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., and TETRA TECH, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in heavy civil engineering, environmental compliance, and infrastructure maintenance. While the majority of contracts are awarded as full and open competitions, she actively facilitates small business participation through subcontracting requirements and mentor-protégé initiatives, ensuring these key vendors meet their small business obligations. Notably, McIntyre’s portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic reliance on full and open competition to meet mission-critical timelines and technical demands. Despite this, she remains deeply committed to small business inclusion, leveraging subcontracting goals and small business teaming arrangements to ensure diverse firms gain meaningful exposure and capacity-building opportunities within large-scale projects. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing the design, construction, and maintenance of dams, levees, navigation locks, and associated infrastructure. She brings specialized expertise in managing complex, multi-year engineering contracts requiring compliance with federal environmental standards and Army Corps of Engineers specifications.
