Judy Huell

Judy M. Huell serves as the primary contracting representative for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Vicksburg office, overseeing the acquisition of civil infrastructure and military engineering services critical to the Mississippi River basin. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements for flood control systems, navigation channel maintenance, levee construction, and dredging operations. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracts with the agency’s mission to enhance national security, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability through engineered water resource solutions. Huell maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, BAIRD-STANTEC JOINT VENTURE, ARCADIS U.S., INC., SOL-MERRICK JOINT VENTURE II, LLC, and LINFIELD, HUNTER & JUNIUS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established joint ventures and multidisciplinary firms capable of delivering integrated engineering, environmental, and construction services. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaborative procurement strategies that leverage technical expertise and regional familiarity to support large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects. A strong advocate for small business participation, Huell consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. She also actively promotes participation by service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate socioeconomic contracting strategy aligned with federal mandates. While the majority of awards are small business set-asides, she maintains a balanced portfolio that includes open competitions to ensure robust market engagement. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to facilities support services, commercial machinery repair, and transportation equipment leasing, with notable activity in shipbuilding and repair, and industrial maintenance. This reflects her technical expertise in sustaining critical water infrastructure and supporting the operational readiness of Army and civilian navigation assets through specialized maintenance and logistical services.
