Booker L. Jordan, Jr.

Booker L. Jordan, Jr. serves as a key procurement lead within the W2R2 Construction Engineering Labor agency under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of advanced engineering research services and specialized construction technologies. His role centers on enabling military infrastructure resilience through the procurement of high-precision measurement systems, laboratory instrumentation, and technical research capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to innovate and validate engineering solutions under extreme operational conditions, frequently engaging in performance-based, non-severable service acquisitions and research and development contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation. Jordan maintains strategic relationships with leading research and engineering contractors, including L1 Enterprises Incorporated, the University of Hawaii, Interphase Materials, Inc., the University of Illinois, and Axias Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for institutions and firms with proven expertise in materials science, structural analysis, and engineering systems integration. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with entities capable of delivering specialized technical deliverables, often involving proprietary instrumentation, field-testing protocols, and data-driven modeling services. His procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 72.7% of awards issued without set-asides, yet he consistently integrates small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (15.2%), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (6.1%), and Women-Owned Small Business (3.0%) mechanisms. This balanced strategy ensures access to innovative capabilities while advancing socioeconomic goals within defense engineering procurement. Jordan’s primary NAICS focus includes Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (25.8%), Engineering Services (12.9%), and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (12.9%), with significant activity in professional scientific services (541990) and computer systems design (541512). His acquisitions target advanced construction methodologies, geospatial analysis tools, and embedded sensor systems designed to enhance the durability and performance of military infrastructure under austere conditions.
