Wendy Denton Arsenault

Wendy Denton Arsenault serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical infrastructure missions for the Department of Defense. She manages the acquisition of construction and engineering services essential to maintaining and modernizing military installations and federal facilities. Her work ensures operational readiness through timely delivery of commercial and institutional building projects, electrical systems integration, and related civil works. She handles full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—primarily under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms for complex, mission-critical infrastructure. Arsenault maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, Matthews Group Inc., Curtin Maritime Corp, and Cheroenhaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in large-scale construction, maritime engineering, and institutional facility upgrades. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, stringent compliance with federal construction standards, and consistent contractor accountability through robust contract management practices. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with mission-critical timelines and the specialized nature of the work. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she maintains an open and competitive environment that allows qualified small firms to compete on merit. Her primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 83.3% of her portfolio, with significant activity in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors). She procures turnkey construction services, structural renovations, electrical system installations, and facility modernization projects, demonstrating deep expertise in federal construction contracting standards, building codes, and DoD facility requirements.
