Katherine Nicholson

Katherine Nicholson supports the procurement mission of W074 Endist Savannah under the Department of the Army, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure and environmental compliance systems. She oversees contracts for civil engineering, facility renovation, and environmental remediation projects that ensure operational readiness across Army installations. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs analysis and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—with a focus on complex, mission-critical infrastructure and technical services. Nicholson’s portfolio is strategically aligned with the agency’s priorities in aging infrastructure upgrade and environmental stewardship. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, and GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with demonstrated expertise in military construction, environmental consulting, and utility systems modernization. Nicholson’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring rigorous compliance with federal construction standards and environmental regulations. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively facilitates participation from small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms where mission requirements permit. Nicholson’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), 483212 (Inland Water Passenger Transportation), and 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds). This diverse mix underscores her role in procuring not only environmental and IT services but also niche infrastructure support systems, including specialized equipment and recreational facilities on military installations, reflecting the multifaceted nature of Army garrison sustainment.
