Kathaleen Schollard

Kathaleen Schollard serves as a Contract Specialist within the W071 Endist Seattle office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing civil infrastructure and construction acquisitions critical to military installation resilience across the Pacific Northwest. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements, including design-build, construction, and maintenance contracts, aligning with the agency’s mission to modernize military facilities through heavy civil engineering, hydraulic infrastructure upgrades, and environmental remediation. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting operational readiness through timely and efficient contract execution. Schollard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships span commercial construction, marine repair, and heavy civil works, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure delivery. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven relationships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency, safety compliance, and reliability in high-stakes environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by equal portions allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach underscores her commitment to socioeconomic goals while maintaining competitive rigor and ensuring access to capable, certified small firms capable of delivering mission-critical construction services. Schollard’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 237130 (power and communication line construction), and 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction), with supplementary support for janitorial services under 561720. She specializes in procurements involving structural, mechanical, and utility systems essential to sustaining and upgrading military installations, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in federal construction contracting and infrastructure modernization.
