Mark Andrews

Mark Andrews serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services for military and federal installations. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction, maintenance, and environmental remediation contracts, ensuring alignment with Army operational readiness goals. He routinely handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on civil works, utility systems, and facility modernization projects. His role is central to executing the agency’s mandate to sustain and enhance the physical infrastructure underpinning national defense. Andrews maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, and Curtin Maritime Corp., all of which possess deep expertise in heavy civil construction and maritime engineering. He also regularly engages Matthews Group Inc. and Cheroenhaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC, reflecting a balanced approach that combines large-scale infrastructure capability with tribal and small business participation. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history, favoring vendors with proven track records in delivering complex, regulated projects under demanding timelines. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business opportunities, with 41.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. While no set-aside preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to broaden vendor participation and foster competitive, resilient supply chains. Andrews’ technical focus centers on NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting expertise in civil infrastructure development. He also procures specialized services in industrial maintenance (811310) and industrial laundering (812332), indicating a broad operational scope that supports both military base functionality and environmental compliance. His domain expertise lies in integrated infrastructure systems that ensure the durability, safety, and sustainability of federal installations.
