Kim O. Scott

Kim O. Scott serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services for military and federal installations. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering contracts, Scott ensures alignment with Department of the Army mission requirements, focusing on the delivery of durable, compliant, and mission-ready facilities. Their portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction and related engineering services, requiring deep familiarity with federal construction standards, environmental compliance, and facility lifecycle management. Scott plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Army installations. Scott maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and MATTHEWS GROUP INC, all of whom have demonstrated technical proficiency in large-scale civil works and institutional construction. Additional partners such as CURTIN MARITIME CORP and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC reflect a balanced approach to maritime and tribal enterprise engagement. These relationships are characterized by repeat performance, technical reliability, and adherence to federal construction codes, indicating a preference for contractors with proven track records in complex, regulated environments. Scott demonstrates a balanced and deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting, allocating equal portions of awards to 8(a) competed set-asides, total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and open competitions with no set-aside. This structured approach ensures competitive fairness while actively promoting participation from small, disadvantaged, and tribal businesses. The consistent use of 8(a) and small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the small business industrial base within defense infrastructure. The primary technical focus of Scott’s acquisitions is NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for military and federal buildings. Complementary engineering services under NAICS 541330 further support design, planning, and oversight of infrastructure projects. This dual emphasis reflects expertise in end-to-end facility acquisition—from conceptual design through construction delivery—ensuring projects meet Army standards for safety, sustainability, and mission functionality.
