Elizabeth Funk

Elizabeth Funk serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility construction services critical to sustaining Army infrastructure. She manages contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize aging military installations, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and operational readiness standards. Her portfolio primarily consists of design-build and construction management contracts for commercial and institutional buildings, including barracks, administrative facilities, and utility upgrades, all governed under stringent federal construction codes and Army Corps of Engineers guidelines. Funk maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, and GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven expertise in military construction, environmental remediation, and facility modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and adherence to Army construction standards, fostering collaborative yet highly accountable vendor relationships. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 20% of awards designated for 8(a) certified firms and another 20% allocated to HUBZone contractors, while the majority of contracts remain open competition. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to integrate small business participation without compromising technical capability or schedule integrity, particularly in mission-critical infrastructure projects. Funk’s work is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—reflecting deep specialization in the planning, design, and execution of large-scale military facility projects. She procures comprehensive construction services including structural renovations, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, ADA compliance retrofits, and sustainable building practices, requiring expertise in federal construction standards, LEED principles, and Army environmental compliance protocols.
