Mandy Ashmore

Mandy Ashmore serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain public-access infrastructure at federal water resource and recreation sites across Arkansas. She manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions focused on environmental operations, facility maintenance, and light construction, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-critical readiness. Her work directly enables the operational continuity of landscaping, janitorial, waste management, and infrastructure support services at Army-managed lakes and reservoirs, aligning procurement activities with long-term sustainability and public access goals. Ashmore maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of vendors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced contractors capable of delivering integrated environmental and facility services under performance-based contracts. Her approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with federal environmental standards, and the ability to scale operations across geographically dispersed sites, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and regulatory adherence. Her procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while 33.3% are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced strategy reflects a commitment to small business participation without compromising operational needs, prioritizing capability over socioeconomic categorization while still actively enabling small business access to federal opportunities. Ashmore’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 921110 (Executive Offices), reflecting her role in managing administrative and operational support services for federal infrastructure, and NAICS 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), indicating procurement of specialized furnishings for visitor centers, ranger stations, and public facilities. Her technical expertise centers on facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and mission-support services critical to public recreation and resource stewardship.
