Rachael McClellan

Rachael McClellan serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to sustaining military readiness across continental U.S. installations. She oversees the acquisition of civil engineering, facility construction, and institutional systems upgrades, ensuring alignment with Army resilience and energy security objectives. Her portfolio centers on large-scale building projects, including barracks, training facilities, and utility enhancements, requiring coordination across multiple technical disciplines and compliance with federal construction standards. McClellan maintains consistent working relationships with established general contractors 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 experienced, full-service construction firms capable of delivering complex, multi-trade projects under stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated project delivery, and strict adherence to safety and quality control protocols. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (71.4% no set-aside), she actively supports small business participation, with nearly one-third of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to leveraging both large-capacity contractors and qualified small businesses, fostering competition while ensuring capacity for mission-critical timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in structural and facility modernization. She also regularly procures roofing systems (238160), institutional furniture (337127), and audiovisual equipment (334310), indicating a holistic approach to creating fully functional, mission-ready environments. Her technical domain spans integrated facility systems, sustainable construction practices, and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers design standards.
