Anika Hillaire

Anika Hillaire serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver critical civil and military infrastructure through strategic acquisition of engineering and technical services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on design, construction, and environmental remediation, ensuring alignment with federal engineering standards and sustainability goals. Her work directly enables the planning and execution of water resource projects, flood control systems, and resilient infrastructure upgrades, bridging technical requirements with regulatory compliance and fiscal accountability. She routinely handles complex, multi-year service contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based acquisition strategies. Hillaire collaborates with a broad spectrum of engineering and environmental service providers, including large firms with specialized expertise in hydrologic modeling, geotechnical analysis, and environmental restoration. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in civil engineering design, environmental remediation, and infrastructure modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competence, past performance, and compliance with federal construction codes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Hillaire’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with the USACE’s need for specialized technical capacity in high-stakes infrastructure projects. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she maintains compliance with all applicable small business regulations and may utilize set-asides on a case-by-case basis when technical requirements align with certified vendor capabilities. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541310 (Architectural Services), reflecting deep engagement with civil, structural, and environmental engineering design. She also procures software solutions for geospatial analysis and infrastructure modeling under NAICS 513210, alongside remediation services under NAICS 562910 and heavy construction under NAICS 237990. Her domain expertise spans water resource engineering, environmental compliance, and sustainable infrastructure development, ensuring acquisitions meet both operational and ecological objectives.
