Brandon Lasich

Brandon Lasich serves as the primary contracting lead for W071 Endist Portland under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of heavy civil engineering, technical services, and infrastructure maintenance solutions critical to the Pacific Northwest’s federal waterways and defense-related facilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining navigational infrastructure, hydropower systems, and flood control assets, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and operational readiness. His procurement activities center on complex, mission-critical projects requiring specialized engineering expertise and long-term maintenance support, often involving multi-year performance-based agreements. Lasich maintains consistent working relationships with leading firms such as MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., HDR ENGINEERING INC, TETRA TECH, INC., and CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in heavy civil construction, environmental engineering, and port operations. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-driven outcomes, often utilizing firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to align vendor deliverables with stringent technical and regulatory requirements. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, Lasich demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. A minimal portion—approximately 0.3%—is designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses, indicating a targeted but not dominant focus on socioeconomic categories beyond general small business eligibility. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting the agency’s stewardship of maritime infrastructure, followed by 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). These categories underscore his technical expertise in waterway maintenance, structural engineering, and specialized consulting services essential to federal hydropower and navigation system integrity.
