Brian T. Gladney

Brian T. Gladney serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Vicksburg office, supporting critical civil infrastructure and military engineering missions across the Mississippi River basin. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on flood control systems, navigation channel maintenance, levee construction, and dredging operations, ensuring alignment with national security and environmental sustainability objectives. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and performance oversight—primarily for engineering, construction, and environmental services that support the Corps’ mission to enhance water resource resilience. Gladney maintains established relationships with a core group of industry partners including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AECOM TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC., BAIRD-STANTEC JOINT VENTURE, ARCADIS U.S., INC., and LINFIELD, HUNTER & JUNIUS, INC. These contractors provide specialized expertise in civil engineering, environmental remediation, and heavy construction, reflecting a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven capabilities in complex federal infrastructure projects. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term vendor partnerships with demonstrated technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and over 11% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate commitment to fostering equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Gladney’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes related to industrial machinery wholesaling, fabricated structural metal manufacturing, and analytical laboratory instrumentation, reflecting procurement needs for specialized equipment used in hydrologic monitoring, structural integrity testing, and material analysis. His work spans both construction-phase materials and precision instrumentation, demonstrating deep domain expertise in civil engineering supply chains and environmental compliance systems.
