Elizabeth Wergin

Elizabeth Wergin serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions across engineering and construction domains. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical infrastructure and technical service initiatives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional engineering services and heavy civil construction projects, requiring deep technical oversight and rigorous source selection processes. Wergin routinely handles competitive sealed bidding, negotiated acquisitions, and performance-based contract structures to deliver high-integrity outcomes aligned with federal operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Wergin maintains a robust network of qualified vendors with proven capabilities in engineering design, pipeline construction, and commercial building projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated technical expertise and past performance in regulated environments. She engages both large prime contractors and subcontractors under teaming arrangements, ensuring scalability and risk mitigation across multi-year task order initiatives. Her working relationships emphasize accountability, compliance, and deliverable-driven contract administration. Wergin’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong but measured commitment to small business participation, with 11.1% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring open competition with broad small business eligibility. This approach supports market-wide competition while still creating meaningful opportunities for small businesses to compete on equal footing under general small business set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction), reflecting expertise in technical design, civil infrastructure, and energy-related construction. She also regularly procures commercial and institutional building services (236220) and other heavy civil works (237990), demonstrating proficiency in managing multi-disciplinary projects requiring coordination among architects, engineers, and construction managers. Wergin’s domain knowledge spans regulatory compliance, geotechnical considerations, and federal construction standards, making her a key steward of mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions.
