Kristi SUTHERLAND

Kristi Sutherland serves as a key procurement lead within W074 Endist Mobile, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of large-scale heavy civil engineering services, overseeing contracts for construction, environmental remediation, and infrastructure resilience projects across Army installations. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and mission-critical delivery of engineering solutions that uphold operational readiness and regulatory standards. Sutherland handles complex, multi-year procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models. She maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including ARELI, INC., THE ROBINS & MORTON GROUP, J & J MAINTENANCE INC, ROYCE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and VALIANT CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-driven task order awards, reflecting a preference for proven technical capability and past performance in heavy civil works. Sutherland’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers standards, fostering a stable vendor ecosystem built on accountability and quality execution. Sutherland’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified performers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical merit and capacity to deliver complex, mission-critical infrastructure. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes compete on equal footing based on capability, schedule adherence, and compliance with federal construction standards. Her primary focus is on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing site preparation, earthmoving, drainage systems, military roadways, and environmental restoration projects. She specializes in procuring services requiring advanced geotechnical expertise, hazardous material abatement, and compliance with EPA and DoD environmental regulations, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in defense-related civil works and infrastructure modernization.
