Rhonda P. Sturdavant

Rhonda P. Sturdavant serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to military readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for construction, renovation, and environmental remediation projects across federal and military installations. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical infrastructure that supports both operational and civil engineering requirements. Sturdavant maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in heavy construction, maritime works, and institutional building services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions (80%), she actively supports socioeconomic programs, with 10% of her portfolio designated for HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides. This balanced approach ensures broad market participation while prioritizing capability and capacity, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and historically underutilized businesses without compromising mission needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 70% of her activity, followed by NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction). She specializes in complex, multi-year construction contracts requiring coordination among design professionals, environmental regulators, and federal stakeholders, reflecting deep expertise in facility modernization, infrastructure resilience, and federally funded construction delivery systems.
