Elizabeth Nelson

Elizabeth Nelson serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Norfolk office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Eastern United States. She manages a portfolio of construction and engineering service contracts focused on facility resilience, military housing, and base modernization initiatives. Her work ensures operational readiness through the timely delivery of high-quality infrastructure projects, aligning acquisitions with Army engineering standards and force protection requirements. She typically handles complex, multi-year contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for design-build, construction management, and renovation services. Nelson maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc., Vanar Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc., all of which have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering large-scale military construction projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven, experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in federal construction environments, including compliance with Army Corps of Engineers design specifications and safety protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and adherence to schedule and quality benchmarks. Nelson’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors to meet urgent infrastructure demands, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and capacity to execute complex military construction tasks. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 113310 (Logging), indicating a significant emphasis on timber-related construction materials, forest management services, and site preparation activities integral to military infrastructure projects in forested or rural installations. This specialization underscores her technical expertise in sourcing and managing natural resource-based construction inputs essential to Army facility sustainment and environmental compliance.
