James A. Mazurick

James A. Mazurick serves as a Contract Specialist (Intern) within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to deliver critical infrastructure and facility services across military and federal installations. In this role, he assists in the full lifecycle procurement of construction, maintenance, and environmental services, including solicitation development, contract administration, and vendor compliance reviews. His work directly supports the agency’s operational readiness objectives by ensuring timely and compliant acquisition of essential civil works and facility support contracts. Mazurick collaborates closely with a core group of established contractors, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, Matthews Group Inc., Curtin Maritime Corp., and Cheroenhaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC. These partnerships span heavy civil construction, maritime infrastructure, and institutional facility services, reflecting a preference for experienced firms capable of executing complex, mission-critical projects under federal contracting standards. His interactions emphasize adherence to FAR compliance, performance-based outcomes, and contractor accountability. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Mazurick supports a procurement strategy where 65% of acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, with minimal use of open competitions. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing broad-based participation from small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms while maintaining competitive integrity. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), with additional emphasis on 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), and 561730 (Landscaping Services). He specializes in procuring facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and infrastructure support services essential to sustaining military installation readiness and long-term asset sustainability.
