Connie L. Ferguson

Connie L. Ferguson serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain critical civil infrastructure. Her role involves facilitating the acquisition of heavy civil engineering services essential to dam, levee, lock, and water system modernization. She contributes to the planning, solicitation, and contract administration of complex construction and rehabilitation projects aligned with federal water resource and public safety objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven priorities. Ferguson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, most notably MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which specialize in heavy civil and water infrastructure projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in large-scale, federally funded construction environments. Her procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, technical capability in hydraulic and structural systems, and adherence to stringent safety and environmental standards. A strong commitment to small business participation defines her contracting approach, with over 72% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Additional support is extended to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and HUBZone firms, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster equitable economic opportunity within the construction sector. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes socioeconomic goals without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in water and sewer line construction (237110), roofing (238160), and highway and bridge work (237310). She oversees the acquisition of specialized trade services critical to maintaining resilient infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in civil works construction, hydraulic system rehabilitation, and federally compliant project delivery.
