Dawn M Ewan

Dawn M. Ewan serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions within a federal agency. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her work supports critical infrastructure and facility modernization initiatives, with a focus on specialty trade contractors and engineered systems. Ewan’s portfolio includes high-impact projects requiring technical precision and rigorous oversight, positioning her at the intersection of civil works, building systems, and industrial instrumentation procurement. Her contractor relationships are characterized by a balanced engagement with both large primes and small business concerns, fostering competitive environments that prioritize technical capability and socioeconomic goals. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently works with firms specializing in heavy civil construction, HVAC systems, and prefabricated building components. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear deliverables, encouraging vendor accountability through structured evaluation criteria and post-award monitoring. Ewan demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages HUBZone and 8(a) programs to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal contracting. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns align with broader agency goals to increase diversity in the supplier base while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in prefabricated wood building manufacturing and specialty trade contracting. She also procures specialized industrial control instruments under NAICS 334513, indicating expertise in technical systems for process monitoring and facility automation. This blend of construction and industrial procurement underscores her proficiency in managing diverse, mission-critical infrastructure projects.
