Marilyn R. Hill

Marilyn R. Hill supports the W072 Endist Detroit under the Department of the Army, managing complex civil engineering and infrastructure procurement initiatives critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. She oversees the acquisition of large-scale construction and maintenance services for waterways, harbors, breakwaters, and dredging systems, ensuring operational readiness of vital inland navigation infrastructure. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for heavy civil works, from design-build solicitations to performance-based service contracts, aligning with the Army’s strategic modernization goals for defense-related civil works. Her procurement portfolio is anchored by long-standing partnerships with specialized contractors including KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in marine construction, structural engineering, and security integration for federal infrastructure. Hill fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing technical compliance, safety standards, and timely delivery in high-stakes, environmentally sensitive project environments. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to cultivate capacity among small businesses with niche capabilities in heavy civil works, while maintaining competitive rigor for mission-critical projects requiring specialized expertise. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in marine infrastructure, followed by significant activity in crushed stone mining (212312) and commercial construction (236220). She routinely acquires services involving dredging, bulkhead installation, concrete batching, and geotechnical support, demonstrating specialized knowledge in the technical demands of Army Corps-style civil works projects.
