Debra A. Scribner

Debra A. Scribner serves as a Purchasing Agent for the W072 Endist Pittsburgh under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to the maintenance, modernization, and operational readiness of civil infrastructure including dams, levees, locks, and water systems. Her role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of ensuring public safety, flood control, and environmental stewardship through timely and compliant procurement processes. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning construction support, equipment leasing, waste management, and landscaping services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Scribner maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors such as MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which provide specialized construction and site development services essential to infrastructure projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in federal civil works, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships that ensure quality, safety, and regulatory compliance across complex engineering environments. She demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable portion allocated to women-owned small businesses. While the majority of awards remain open to general competition, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance contractor diversity within the federal construction and infrastructure support sector. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to landscaping services, solid waste collection, construction equipment leasing, and sporting and athletic goods manufacturing—reflecting the agency’s broad operational needs, from site rehabilitation and environmental compliance to recreational facility maintenance. This technical domain expertise enables her to effectively source specialized services that support both infrastructure resilience and public access to federally managed water resources.
