Sandra Marie Kenzie

Sandra Marie Kenzie serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Detroit office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure support services critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering contracts focused on waterway maintenance, harbor development, dredging systems, and breakwater construction, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers’ strategic readiness goals. Her work directly supports the modernization of inland navigation infrastructure and the sustainment of vital military logistics corridors through complex, mission-critical contracting actions. Kenzie maintains established relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil works, marine construction, and site preparation. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical competency in federal construction standards, and consistent performance on high-complexity projects requiring compliance with Army and Corps of Engineers specifications. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 63.9% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she actively promotes small business participation, allocating 32.8% of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. A modest but intentional portion of awards supports service-disabled veteran-owned and 8(a) small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Kenzie’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in electrical contracting (238210), site preparation (238910), and engineering services (541330). She routinely procures services related to dredging, marine structure installation, hydraulic infrastructure, and integrated civil works systems, demonstrating deep expertise in federal construction procurement within the maritime and inland waterways domain.
