Laurie A. Cordell

Laurie A. Cordell serves as a Contract Specialist with the W074 Endist Savannah under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting for facilities support services, including planning, solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of contracts aligned with civil engineering and environmental compliance priorities. She ensures acquisitions adhere to federal regulations while supporting the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through the renovation, maintenance, and remediation of installation utilities and facilities. Cordell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced joint ventures and specialty contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, multi-disciplinary teams capable of delivering complex, integrated facilities services such as maintenance, operations, engineering support, and environmental remediation. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term contractor reliability over transactional engagements. Her contracting activity is entirely aligned with non-set-aside procurements, reflecting a strategic focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest range of technical capabilities. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements and prioritizes value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic categorization. Cordell’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing a wide array of services including custodial, groundskeeping, facility maintenance, utility system support, and infrastructure lifecycle management. Her technical expertise lies in managing contracts for mission-critical civil engineering support, ensuring Army installations remain operationally viable through reliable, compliant, and efficient facilities services.
