Jeffrey Zbezinski

Jeffrey Zbezinski serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to maintain and modernize critical civil infrastructure. He manages acquisitions for high-priority water resource systems, including dams, levees, locks, and associated utilities, ensuring compliance with federal construction and operational standards. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical contracts requiring technical precision and regulatory adherence, particularly in plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and facility support services. Zbezinski’s work directly enables the agency’s strategic goals in flood control, navigation, and environmental resilience through timely and compliant contracting practices. He maintains strong, recurring relationships with core contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering infrastructure upgrades under tight operational constraints. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally rooted firms capable of executing specialized construction and maintenance tasks in sensitive environmental and regulatory environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and long-term operational readiness over short-term cost savings. Zbezinski’s procurement strategy is uniformly focused on small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting, ensuring opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms to contribute to national infrastructure resilience. His patterns show no reliance on large business set-asides, underscoring a deliberate alignment with federal small business policy and regional economic development goals. His technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 561210 (facilities support services), and 332912 (fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in mechanical systems, preventive maintenance, and specialized fluid control components critical to water infrastructure. He procures integrated solutions that combine equipment, installation, and long-term service support, requiring a nuanced understanding of both civil engineering and federal supply chain requirements.
