Michelle Anderson

Michelle Anderson serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Pittsburgh office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical civil infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of complex engineering and construction services essential to flood control, navigation, and water resource management, including dams, levees, locks, and associated hydraulic systems. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in resilience, environmental stewardship, and public safety by ensuring timely, compliant, and technically sound contract execution across high-stakes infrastructure projects. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, most notably MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and C. J. MAHAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, LLC, both of which possess deep expertise in heavy civil works. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven track records in federal water resource projects, though she also engages a broader network of specialized subcontractors to meet technical demands. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with a focus on quality control, schedule adherence, and compliance with Army Corps engineering standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 44% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and HUBZone programs. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively leverages socioeconomic authorities to promote equitable access and workforce development within the construction sector. Anderson’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in water and sewer line construction (237110), plumbing and HVAC systems (238220), and landscaping services (561730). Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of civil infrastructure procurement—from design-build solicitations to maintenance and repair contracts—ensuring alignment with federal engineering specifications and environmental regulations.
