Ida Ryan

Ida Ryan serves as a Supervisory Contract Specialist at W2SD Endist Baltimore, part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Department of the Army, where she oversees the full lifecycle of complex infrastructure and facility support contracts. Her role involves managing solicitation development, source selection, contract negotiation, and post-award administration for high-priority civil engineering and construction projects critical to military readiness. She specializes in procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for heavy civil works, environmental remediation, and institutional building construction, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements and mission-aligned delivery of federal infrastructure. Ryan maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and CURTIN MARITIME CORP, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in large-scale federal construction and maritime operations. She also collaborates regularly with specialized firms such as MATTHEWS GROUP INC and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC, demonstrating a balanced approach between large-capacity contractors and culturally significant tribal enterprises. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term partnership over transactional engagements. A defining feature of Ryan’s procurement strategy is her strong commitment to small business participation, with 71.4% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition within the federal construction and engineering sectors. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that empower small disadvantaged businesses, ensuring broad vendor engagement and compliance with federal small business goals. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). These categories underscore her expertise in managing integrated projects spanning structural construction, environmental compliance, and land management services essential to sustaining Army installations and federal property assets.
