Andrei Tobias

Andrei Tobias serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical military infrastructure and federal facility programs. He executes complex acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to deliver construction, engineering, and environmental services essential to operational readiness. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, professional services, and civil works contracts, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurement outcomes with the Department of the Army’s mission to maintain and modernize defense infrastructure across federal properties. Andrei maintains established relationships with key 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 balance between large, experienced firms capable of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects and small, culturally significant entities with specialized capabilities. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. A significant portion of Andrei’s acquisitions—40%—are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to small business participation. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides supports socioeconomic goals and promotes equitable access to federal contracting opportunities, particularly for firms certified under small business programs. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which constitutes 60% of his portfolio, encompassing architectural, civil, and environmental engineering support. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), indicating expertise in ecological restoration, land management, and grounds maintenance for military installations. This technical alignment underscores his specialization in integrated infrastructure solutions that combine engineering precision with environmental stewardship.
