Sara Deyermond

Sara Deyermond serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Seattle office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of heavy civil engineering and professional engineering services critical to military installation resilience across the Pacific Northwest. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain critical infrastructure, including coastal defenses, hydraulic systems, and military facility construction. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 36, primarily focused on design-build, construction management, and professional engineering services, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and environmental compliance requirements. Deyermond maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of qualified contractors including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure repair, and federal construction delivery models. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and collaborative project delivery, fostering long-term vendor engagement through transparent solicitation processes and rigorous contract administration. Her contracting strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her portfolio designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remains open to full and open competition. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small and emerging contractors without compromising mission-critical delivery capabilities. Deyermond’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure projects such as levees, dredging, bridge rehabilitation, and site development. She routinely procures specialized services including geotechnical engineering, environmental remediation, and hydraulic modeling, ensuring technical rigor and regulatory compliance in all acquisitions.
