Sharla R. Andrews

Sharla R. Andrews serves as a Contract Specialist with the W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the full lifecycle of complex infrastructure and engineering acquisitions to support military readiness and federal facility operations. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts for civil engineering, construction, and technical services critical to maintaining and modernizing military installations. She routinely handles high-stakes, mission-critical procurements under FAR Part 36 and Part 13 procedures, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the Army’s strategic infrastructure goals. Andrews maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO., LLC, and CURTIN MARITIME CORP, reflecting her focus on large-scale civil works and maritime infrastructure projects. She also engages specialized firms such as MATTHEWS GROUP INC and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC, indicating a balanced approach between traditional prime contractors and Native American-owned entities. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven performance in heavy construction and engineering services. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as No Set-Aside (88.9%), she maintains a deliberate and meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 11.1% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on fostering competition among qualified small firms without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with additional focus on 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). This demonstrates deep expertise in procuring infrastructure design, construction management, and integrated technical systems essential to sustaining Army installations and federal civil works projects.
