Marcia Young

Marcia Young serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support critical military infrastructure and facility operations. She executes complex acquisitions under FAR Part 19 and other statutory frameworks to ensure timely delivery of construction, environmental, and facility support services across Army installations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, janitorial services, and civil works projects, requiring precise application of technical specifications, performance-based contracting methods, and compliance with federal environmental and labor standards. Marcia maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, and Matthews Group Inc., as well as minority-owned and small business entities such as Cherohenaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC and Curtin Maritime Corp. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance accountability, and adherence to quality assurance protocols, fostering reliable delivery of mission-critical services across diverse geographic and operational environments. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Marcia consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 76% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among disadvantaged business enterprises. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a clear alignment with Department of Defense goals to enhance small business access and promote equitable economic opportunity within federal construction and facility support markets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (janitorial services) and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), with additional expertise in environmental consulting (541620) and flooring systems (238330). She specializes in procuring integrated facility services that support operational readiness, including maintenance, remediation, and infrastructure modernization, requiring nuanced understanding of both federal construction standards and service delivery performance metrics.
