Sandra Schenning

Sandra Schenning serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist New York office of the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex civil engineering and infrastructure acquisitions critical to military readiness in the Northeastern United States. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, engineering services, and facility modernization projects, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to sustain and upgrade military and civil infrastructure. Her work directly supports the development of transportation networks, utilities, and environmental systems essential to operational resilience. Schenning maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and engineering design, often involving joint ventures and multi-disciplinary teams capable of delivering large-scale, mission-critical projects under stringent military standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor accountability. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Schenning demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, regularly awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides and prioritizing Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) opportunities. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to foster vendor diversity while maintaining technical rigor and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in engineering services under 541330. She specializes in acquiring services related to flood risk mitigation, navigation infrastructure, facility upgrades, and structural rehabilitation, demonstrating deep expertise in federal construction procurement and civil works project delivery.
