Brandi M. Fialek

Brandi M. Fialek serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to deliver critical infrastructure and facility support across military and federal installations. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for commercial and institutional building construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with operational readiness goals. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for new construction, renovation, and facility maintenance efforts, with a focus on delivering durable, mission-critical infrastructure to sustain Army operations. Fialek maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 preference for vendors with proven expertise in large-scale civil works, institutional construction, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, high-capacity collaborations with firms capable of executing complex, multi-year projects under stringent federal standards. Her procurement patterns show a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation without compromising project scale or technical requirements. She actively leverages small business capabilities while maintaining flexibility to ensure mission-critical delivery timelines are met. Fialek’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing the design-build, renovation, and repair of military barracks, administrative facilities, training centers, and related infrastructure. Her technical expertise lies in managing projects requiring coordination with architectural, engineering, and environmental compliance disciplines, ensuring all acquisitions meet Army Corps of Engineers standards for safety, sustainability, and operational durability.
