Jennifer A. Cutshall serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical civil infrastructure. She manages complex acquisitions for heavy civil engineering projects, including dam and levee rehabilitation, lock system upgrades, and water resource facility modernization. Her work ensures compliance with federal construction standards and supports national priorities in flood control, navigation, and environmental resilience. Cutshall typically oversees contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for design-build, construction, and specialized engineering services, coordinating closely with technical engineers and project managers to align procurement strategy with mission-critical infrastructure needs. Cutshall 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 heavy civil construction and site development. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in federal water infrastructure projects, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and regulatory compliance. She also engages a broader network of 13 smaller vendors, ensuring competitive bidding while maintaining quality control across high-stakes construction environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Cutshall prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, which account for over half of her acquisitions, alongside HUBZone set-asides that support economically distressed communities. Her contracting approach consistently leverages FAR 19.5 provisions to maximize opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, aligning with Army goals for equitable economic development and workforce inclusion. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in fabricated structural metal manufacturing (332312) and specialized systems for water resource monitoring (334511). She procures custom-engineered components, hydraulic control systems, and integrated civil works solutions, demonstrating deep domain expertise in the technical demands of federal water infrastructure modernization.
