Aisha R. Boykin

Aisha R. Boykin serves as a Purchasing Agent for W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical facility support services essential to military infrastructure readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on non-construction services that sustain operational environments across federal installations. She routinely handles service-based acquisitions including janitorial, landscaping, and specialized cleaning contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to maintain and restore military and civilian infrastructure. Boykin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of 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 blend of large-capacity service providers and certified small businesses, indicating a strategic approach to balancing capacity, compliance, and local economic impact. Her procurement patterns suggest a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal facility support, environmental remediation services, and maritime logistics, fostering reliable, long-term vendor engagement. Aisha demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 60% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly utilizes 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote participation from disadvantaged small businesses. While the majority of her portfolio supports small business goals, she maintains flexibility for open competitions when market conditions or mission requirements necessitate broader sourcing. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 561740 (Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services), and 561730 (Landscaping Services), underscoring her expertise in facility maintenance and environmental stewardship. She also procures specialized professional services under NAICS 541990 and niche chemical manufacturing under 325199, demonstrating technical fluency in both operational support and regulated industrial supply chains critical to Army infrastructure sustainability.
