Susan M. Yenne

Susan M. Yenne serves as a key procurement lead within the Western Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, overseeing the acquisition of critical transportation infrastructure services across federally managed lands in the western United States. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for highway, bridge, and civil engineering projects that support public access, resource preservation, and emergency response in national parks and forests. She specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance, often coordinating with engineering consultants, construction firms, and specialized environmental service providers to ensure alignment with federal transportation standards and environmental mandates. Yenne maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including STRIDER CONSTRUCTION CO INC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, M.A. DEATLEY CONSTRUCTION, INC., OFTEDAL CONSTRUCTION, INC., and HAZ-TECH DRILLING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federal land-based construction, geotechnical operations, and site-specific environmental remediation. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, safety compliance, and technical capability over volume, fostering long-term vendor engagement rooted in performance history and regulatory familiarity. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (73.7%), Yenne demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 21.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 5.3% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This balanced approach ensures competitive diversity while maintaining the high standards required for infrastructure projects on sensitive federal lands. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in administrative and engineering services, with 42.1% of awards under NAICS 541611 for management consulting and 26.3% under NAICS 541330 for civil engineering design and oversight. Additional activity in NAICS 237310 reflects targeted construction support, underscoring her expertise in integrating technical engineering solutions with on-the-ground infrastructure delivery.
