Penny R Zortman

Penny R. Zortman serves as a Contract Specialist within the W074 Endist Wilmington office under the Department of the Army’s W912PM organization, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize military infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for civil works, facility maintenance, and utility systems essential to Army installation readiness. She specializes in procurement of construction, security, and environmental compliance services, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and DoD strategic priorities for resilient infrastructure development. Zortman maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, 4K Global-ACC MP, LLC, COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION, LGX-RBS, LLC, and SOUTHWIND CONSTRUCTION CORP. These partnerships reflect a focus on experienced, qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized trade services, security operations, and facility support across diverse geographic locations. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic programs, Zortman prioritizes small business participation, with 70% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 10% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. Her commitment to broadening small business access is evident in her consistent use of set-aside authorities to foster equitable opportunity and enhance competition among qualified disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds), reflecting her role in managing recreational and temporary lodging infrastructure for military personnel and families. She also regularly procures security and patrol services (NAICS 561612), specialty trade contracting (NAICS 238990), prefabricated metal building components (NAICS 332311), and sealing device manufacturing (NAICS 339991), demonstrating technical expertise across both facility operations and specialized supply chain requirements.
