Barrietta Killiebrew

Barrietta Killiebrew serves as a key procurement professional within the W07V Engineer District in St. Louis, operating under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of the Army. Responsible for managing complex civil works and infrastructure acquisitions, she oversees contracts critical to water resource management, environmental restoration, and military installation support. Her portfolio centers on heavy civil engineering construction, land rehabilitation, and geospatial services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of ecological resilience and infrastructure sustainability. She routinely handles sole-source, competed, and set-aside procurements requiring technical precision and regulatory adherence. Killiebrew maintains consistent partnerships with leading engineering and geospatial firms, including FUGRO USA LAND, INC., BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP LTD, and NV5 GEOSPATIAL, INC., reflecting a preference for established technical vendors with proven expertise in surveying, mapping, and environmental consulting. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, with recurring engagements with firms capable of delivering high-accuracy geospatial data, hydrologic modeling, and infrastructure assessment services. These relationships are built on technical competency, past performance, and the ability to operate in sensitive federal environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with over one-third of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a significant portion allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of 8(a) and small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged and minority-owned firms within the civil works sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with substantial activity in site preparation and landscaping services. She specializes in acquiring engineering solutions for lock and dam rehabilitation, erosion control, wetland restoration, and flood risk mitigation, requiring deep domain knowledge in hydraulic structures, environmental compliance, and land management systems. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions align with both operational readiness and ecological stewardship objectives.
