Patrick R. Shutt

Patrick R. Shutt serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure support services critical to military installation readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on the construction, renovation, and sustainment of military facilities, including barracks, training complexes, utilities, and energy resilience systems. His role ensures alignment with the Army’s strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization, particularly in advancing energy security through microgrids and resilient civil works. Shutt handles complex, multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts requiring coordination across engineering, environmental, and facilities management disciplines. Shutt maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced general contractors and specialty trade firms, including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J. E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for large, fully capable contractors with proven track records in federal construction and site development. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and technical expertise. Shutt’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging broad market capabilities to meet mission-critical timelines and technical demands, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his portfolio remains open to all qualified vendors meeting stringent performance and compliance criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate) and 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property), indicating significant engagement with land management, facility leasing, and real estate services. He also procures specialty trade services under 238990 and supports mission-adjacent activities such as golf course maintenance under 713910 and general government support under 921190, demonstrating a broad yet mission-aligned technical domain expertise in military infrastructure lifecycle management.
