Adrienne Manuel

Adrienne Manuel serves as the primary procurement lead for W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment services critical to military installation readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, remediation, and facilities support contracts aimed at modernizing barracks, training facilities, utilities, and energy systems across the continental United States. Her role is central to executing the agency’s mission of resilient infrastructure development, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic priorities in energy security and environmental stewardship. Manuel maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J.E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service general contractors and specialty trade firms capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary construction and site development projects.

A strong advocate for small business participation, Manuel consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 80% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster competition, expand vendor diversity, and support economic growth within the defense industrial base.
