Edwina Smalls

Edwina Smalls serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah office under the Department of the Army, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure and environmental compliance systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to upgrade aging facilities, enhance operational readiness, and ensure environmental stewardship across Army installations. She routinely manages complex contracting actions in civil engineering, building renovation, and environmental remediation, with a focus on long-term infrastructure resilience. Her portfolio includes both design-build and construction management contracts, often involving multi-year performance requirements and stringent regulatory compliance under FAR and EPA standards. Smalls maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of experienced contractors, including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. These relationships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven expertise in military facility upgrades and environmental restoration. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and past performance evaluation, fostering reliable, mission-critical delivery from a trusted vendor base. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic emphasis on expanding opportunities for qualified small entities in infrastructure and environmental sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 813312 (Environment, Conservation and Wildlife Organizations) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), aligning with the agency’s core needs in environmental remediation, utility system upgrades, and institutional facility modernization. She specializes in procuring services related to hazardous material abatement, energy-efficient retrofits, and sustainable construction practices, underscoring deep technical expertise in defense-related civil works and environmental compliance.
