Shirley A Anderson

Shirley A. Anderson serves as a Program Assistant with the Eastern Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, supporting the procurement and program management of critical transportation infrastructure projects across federally managed lands. In this role, she facilitates the planning, solicitation, and administrative execution of construction and engineering acquisitions, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and agency priorities. Her work directly enables the maintenance and enhancement of highways, bridges, and roadways within national forests and public rights-of-way, emphasizing safety, resilience, and environmental compliance. She typically handles contract actions under the NAICS codes for highway construction and related civil works, coordinating with project engineers, environmental specialists, and contracting officers to ensure timely and compliant delivery of public works. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including ESTES BROS. CONST. INC., BLUEGRASS CONTRACTING CORP, BRYANT’S LAND AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIES, INC., ECLIPSE COMPANIES, LLC, and ASPEN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. These firms are frequently engaged for complex highway and bridge construction tasks requiring specialized expertise in federal land environments. Her procurement patterns reflect long-standing, performance-based partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering high-quality infrastructure under stringent environmental and safety standards. All of Anderson’s acquisitions are conducted under non-set-aside authorities, reflecting a preference for full and open competition. This approach prioritizes technical merit and contractor performance over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the division’s need for scalable, high-capacity execution on mission-critical projects. While small business participation is not formally targeted, contractors of all sizes compete equitably based on capability and past performance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), accounting for nearly 90% of her activity, with supplementary support for commercial building construction and architectural services. She specializes in procuring civil infrastructure services requiring precise engineering oversight, erosion control, and compliance with federal land use regulations.
