Donna Y Dooen

Donna Y. Dooen serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to maintain and modernize critical civil infrastructure. She manages acquisitions for heavy civil engineering projects, including dams, levees, locks, and water control systems, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and environmental stewardship goals. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in flood control, navigation, and resilient infrastructure development, overseeing contracts that require technical expertise in hydraulic systems, earthwork, and structural rehabilitation. Dooen maintains strong, ongoing relationships with core contractors such as MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which consistently deliver complex earthmoving, site development, and civil works services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence, fostering collaboration with firms experienced in federal construction environments and Army Corps specifications. She demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by targeted HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity among disadvantaged and geographically underserved contractors while ensuring competitive, qualified bids for mission-critical projects. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in specialty trade contracting (238990) and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220). She routinely procures services related to water and sewer line construction, landscape restoration, and structural rehabilitation, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal civil works standards and infrastructure lifecycle management.
