Connie L Newell

Connie L. Newell serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining Army operational readiness across the Western United States. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for construction and facility modernization projects. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, with significant emphasis on environmental compliance, utility upgrades, and installation support services aligned with the Army’s strategic infrastructure priorities. Newell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which demonstrate proven capacity in complex federal construction environments. Her procurement approach favors established vendors with demonstrated performance in military and government facility projects, fostering reliable partnerships that ensure quality, timeliness, and regulatory adherence across high-stakes construction deliverables. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Newell demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, regularly structuring set-asides under FAR 19.5 for Total Small Business, HUBZone, and 8(a) programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced effort to leverage socioeconomic programs without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with substantial activity in highway and bridge construction (237310), plumbing and HVAC systems (238220), and electrical and power line infrastructure (238210, 237130). This technical specialization positions her as a subject matter expert in integrated facility systems, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards, environmental regulations, and DoD facility lifecycle management protocols.
