Shirley Yarbro

Shirley Yarbro serves as a Contracting Officer for W075 Endist Sacramento under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and installation support services across the Western United States. Her role is central to sustaining operational readiness by procuring construction, environmental remediation, and facility lifecycle management services that ensure Army installations remain compliant, resilient, and mission-ready. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build, service-based, and heavy civil engineering projects that align with the agency’s strategic priorities in environmental stewardship and infrastructure modernization. Yarbro maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which are experienced in military facility work and regional environmental compliance. She cultivates partnerships with contractors possessing proven expertise in Army-specific construction standards and environmental remediation protocols, often engaging them through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability in complex, mission-critical environments. She demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone and SDVOSB programs, without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with additional activity in landscaping and commercial building construction. She specializes in acquiring services related to hazardous material removal, site restoration, facility maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades—domains requiring deep technical knowledge of Army environmental regulations and construction specifications.
