Katherine K. Fisher

Katherine K. Fisher serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enable strategic deterrence through hardened facility construction, utility corridor development, and base readiness enhancements. She typically handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 36, focusing on design-build, construction management, and professional services contracts that require technical precision and compliance with DoD facility standards. Her portfolio spans both new construction and legacy system upgrades, ensuring operational continuity across the defense footprint. Fisher maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in military-grade construction, electrical systems integration, heavy equipment logistics, and project management. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over transient bid pricing, fostering stable, mission-critical supply chains. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted (80%), Fisher actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (20%), aligning with FAR 19.5 to promote equitable access for qualified small entities. She does not prioritize specialized socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but consistently structures solicitations to encourage broad small business competition and subcontracting opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330), surveying and mapping (541370), and oil and gas pipeline construction (237120). She specializes in procuring integrated infrastructure solutions that support nuclear deterrence facilities, energy resilience, and training environment modernization, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military construction standards and DoD facility lifecycle requirements.
