Tina B. Pettyjohn

Tina B. Pettyjohn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the federal acquisition framework, with a primary focus on heavy civil infrastructure projects. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. Her portfolio centers on high-impact public works, including transportation and engineering construction, where she balances operational urgency with fiscal responsibility and regulatory rigor. Pettyjohn cultivates relationships with a diverse base of contractors, primarily specialty trade firms and civil engineering contractors experienced in public infrastructure delivery. She engages both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative performance environments that emphasize quality control, safety compliance, and schedule adherence. Her contracting approach prioritizes competitive solicitation practices while encouraging teaming arrangements that enhance capability and capacity across the contractor base. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with 30% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 8(a) competed contracts and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively leverages small business programs to promote market entry and growth among disadvantaged entrepreneurs, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation in federal construction markets. Pettyjohn’s technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with significant activity in 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and supporting specialties including roofing, electrical installation, and other specialty trade contracting. She routinely procures services related to roadway rehabilitation, structural infrastructure, drainage systems, and utility integration, demonstrating deep familiarity with construction specifications, performance-based outcomes, and inspection protocols critical to public works delivery.
