Adam Jones

Adam Jones serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist New Orleans office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical civil infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing flood risk reduction and coastal resilience across the Gulf Coast. He manages complex contracts for large-scale hydraulic engineering, dredging, and levee construction, ensuring alignment with federal water resource management priorities. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to protect vulnerable Louisiana communities through durable, engineered solutions to storm surge and erosion. Jones handles a portfolio of competitive and set-aside acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily focused on heavy civil works and marine construction. He maintains sustained relationships with top-tier contractors including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC—firms with proven expertise in dredging, bulkhead installation, and coastal restoration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration, often engaging contractors with specialized marine construction capabilities and regional operational experience in Louisiana’s sensitive wetland environments. Jones demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of awards designated for HUBZone firms and an equal share awarded under no set-aside conditions. He consistently utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster opportunity for disadvantaged and geographically targeted small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor. His procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing levee systems, channel stabilization, and flood control structures. A smaller but significant portion of his portfolio involves NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting the need for specialized vessel support in dredging and aquatic construction operations. His technical domain expertise lies in hydraulic engineering, sediment management, and coastal infrastructure lifecycle procurement.
