Alec Bailey

Alec Bailey serves as a procurement professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Vicksburg office, supporting critical civil infrastructure and military engineering missions across the Mississippi River basin. He manages acquisitions for flood control systems, navigation channel maintenance, levee construction, and dredging operations, ensuring alignment with federal engineering standards and national security objectives. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to enhance water resource resilience and infrastructure sustainability through timely, compliant contract execution. Bailey handles a mix of construction, engineering services, and specialized manufacturing procurements, often coordinating with multidisciplinary technical teams to define requirements and evaluate contractor proposals under FAR Part 36 and Part 19 frameworks. He maintains established working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, BAIRD-STANTEC JOINT VENTURE, ARCADIS U.S., INC., SOL-MERRICK JOINT VENTURE II, LLC, and LINFIELD, HUNTER & JUNIUS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in hydraulic structures, geotechnical engineering, and large-scale earthwork. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on contractor past performance, technical capability, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations. Bailey’s contracting patterns reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, reflecting the agency’s broader goals to foster local economic development and contractor diversity. His approach balances competitive bidding with targeted outreach to qualified small firms capable of delivering specialized engineering and construction services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 316210 (Footwear Manufacturing) and 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing), both accounting for one-third of activity, alongside 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing). These reflect specialized needs for durable, corrosion-resistant components used in water infrastructure and marine operations, indicating deep technical expertise in industrial fabrication and engineered systems for harsh environmental conditions.
