Janie Roney

Janie L. Roney serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W072 Endist Pittsburgh office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical civil infrastructure projects. Her role centers on executing complex construction and engineering contracts aligned with the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain dams, levees, locks, and water control systems. She handles acquisitions governed by FAR Part 36, specializing in design-build, construction management, and performance-based service contracts that ensure public safety, flood control, and environmental resilience across the region. Roney maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, most notably MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which frequently serve as primary performers on large-scale civil works projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, experienced contractors with proven capabilities in heavy civil construction, while also fostering collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and timely delivery. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Roney consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 62% of her awards structured to support small business participation. She also actively utilizes Women-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and HUBZone set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate and compliant approach to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio reflects a strategic balance between maximizing competition and ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain within the small business ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), followed by roofing (238160), highway and bridge construction (237310), and site preparation (238910). She routinely procures specialized services involving earthwork, hydraulic structure rehabilitation, erosion control, and infrastructure modernization, requiring deep technical understanding of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers design standards and environmental compliance protocols.
