Caroline J. Schleh

Caroline J. Schleh serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical military infrastructure projects. Her role centers on executing complex construction contracts under the Department of the Army’s facility support mission, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with operational readiness goals. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, coordinating closely with engineers, project managers, and legal advisors to deliver mission-critical facilities across federal and military installations. Schleh maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in large-scale civil works, building construction, and environmental remediation. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and stringent contract administration to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. Her procurement patterns show a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all eligible firms—regardless of size or certification—compete on technical merit and past performance, consistent with the agency’s mission-critical delivery timelines. Schleh’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing the design-build and traditional construction of barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and related infrastructure. She specializes in procuring services involving structural systems, MEP installations, site development, and compliance with military construction standards, demonstrating deep expertise in federal construction contracting and facility lifecycle support.
