Clarissa Douthit

Clarissa Douthit serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Kansas City office of the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of environmental consulting and civil infrastructure support services critical to sustaining Army installations. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the strategic procurement of technical services that maintain and modernize military facilities, including water and wastewater systems, environmental remediation, and civil engineering support. She oversees full and open competitions and 8(a) set-asides, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to uphold installation integrity and environmental compliance across the continental United States. Douthit maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of top-tier environmental and engineering contractors, including HYDROGEOLOGIC, INC., BURNS & MCDONNELL ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., CAPE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC, HGL-APTIM TECHNOLOGIES JV LLC, and ZAPATA BLACK & VEATCH JV, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep expertise in environmental remediation, geotechnical investigations, and facility sustainment services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary environmental solutions under stringent regulatory frameworks. Her procurement strategy is overwhelmingly focused on 8(a) competed set-asides, with 100% of her awards structured to promote small business participation among socially and economically disadvantaged firms. This consistent emphasis underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for 8(a)-certified entities within the environmental services sector, reinforcing the Army’s socioeconomic contracting goals while ensuring access to specialized technical capabilities. Douthit’s portfolio is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, reflecting her specialization in environmental assessments, remediation planning, hazardous material management, and compliance-driven engineering support. She procures services that address soil and groundwater contamination, regulatory permitting, environmental impact studies, and sustainable infrastructure upgrades—domains requiring advanced technical knowledge and federal environmental regulatory expertise.
