Marsha R Sells

Marsha R. Sells serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist Sacramento office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction and civil engineering contracts aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness through resilient facility development, environmental compliance, and land asset management. She primarily handles complex, high-impact acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on heavy civil engineering and facility modernization projects requiring technical precision and regulatory adherence. Sells maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which possess proven capabilities in large-scale earthwork, site development, and structural construction. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with regional expertise and demonstrated performance in challenging terrain and environmental conditions, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and compliance with Army engineering standards. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with the majority of procurements conducted as no-set-aside competitions (66.7%), while actively incorporating 8(a) competed awards (16.7%) and total small business set-asides (12.5%). Though HUBZone set-asides are less frequent (4.2%), her portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, ensuring opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and regionally rooted firms without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. Sells specializes in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for 83.3% of her acquisitions, encompassing earthmoving, drainage systems, and military installation site development. She also manages related work in poured concrete structures (238110), highway and bridge construction (237310), and commercial building (236220), demonstrating deep technical expertise in infrastructure resilience, geotechnical engineering, and environmental mitigation within Army garrison environments.
