Tracey Strawbridge

Tracey Strawbridge serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Norfolk office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Eastern United States. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions, Strawbridge oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility upgrades, port operations, and landscape restoration projects essential to operational readiness and force protection. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement activities with strategic Army infrastructure priorities, including military housing and base resilience initiatives. Strawbridge maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc., Vanar Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc., all of which have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering heavy civil engineering and port-related services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction standards, though she actively cultivates a competitive bidding environment to ensure value and innovation. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers design specifications. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Strawbridge consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to small business participation. She does not typically utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to foster a diverse pool of qualified contractors capable of meeting demanding infrastructure requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations), each accounting for 40% of her activity, with additional emphasis on 561730 (Landscaping Services). She specializes in acquiring services related to dredging, seawall construction, utilities integration, and military installation grounds maintenance, demonstrating deep technical expertise in federal construction and environmental compliance standards.
