Bonilie Lackey

Bonilie Lackey serves as a Contracting Officer for the W071 Endist Seattle under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil infrastructure and construction acquisitions critical to military installation resilience across the Pacific Northwest. She executes full lifecycle contracting for heavy civil engineering projects, including hydraulic structures, coastal defense systems, and facility modernization efforts aligned with Army Engineering and Support Center priorities. Her portfolio emphasizes compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven procurement strategies that ensure long-term operational readiness through durable, high-performance infrastructure. Lackey maintains sustained working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co, and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine repair, and federal project delivery. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability, fostering long-term vendor engagement through repeat awards and structured task order execution under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity mechanisms. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides—reflecting the scale and complexity of required capabilities—Lackey consistently allocates approximately 26.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses capable of meeting stringent engineering and construction standards, particularly those with relevant experience in federal infrastructure programs. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction) and NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services). She specializes in acquiring services related to dam and levee rehabilitation, shoreline stabilization, utility relocation, and environmental remediation—domains requiring deep technical knowledge and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers design criteria and sustainability standards.
