Adriana A. Dunaway

Adriana A. Dunaway serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist Philadelphia office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing complex civil infrastructure and maritime engineering acquisitions critical to national defense readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on coastal resilience, waterway navigation, military port modernization, and large-scale dredging operations. Her work directly supports the Army’s mission to sustain and enhance operational access through engineered solutions, ensuring that critical infrastructure remains functional under evolving environmental and strategic demands. Dunaway typically handles high-value, technically demanding procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, often involving design-build, construction, and engineering services requiring specialized maritime and civil expertise. She maintains long-standing partnerships with leading contractors in the maritime and infrastructure sectors, including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CONRAD SHIPYARD, L.L.C., HDR ARCHITECTURE, INC., BUCHART HORN INC, and NORFOLK DREDGING COMPANY. These relationships reflect a consistent pattern of collaboration with firms possessing deep technical capabilities in shipyard operations, coastal engineering, and heavy civil construction. Dunaway’s procurement approach prioritizes performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models, fostering accountability and innovation among vendors with proven experience in federally funded maritime projects. A strong advocate for small business participation, Dunaway consistently structures solicitations to maximize opportunities for small businesses, with over half of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity, regularly leveraging small business set-asides to cultivate a robust vendor base capable of supporting complex engineering requirements while promoting economic inclusion in defense-related industries. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring her specialization in naval infrastructure and vessel maintenance systems. She also procures related services in marine construction, crane and hoist installations, and industrial machinery maintenance, demonstrating expertise in technical domains that bridge military logistics, civil engineering, and maritime operations.
