Carol Jayroe

Carol Jayroe serves as a Contract Specialist within the W074 Endist Wilmington office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex civil works and infrastructure acquisitions. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize military facilities, utilities, and heavy civil engineering systems critical to operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily includes construction and maintenance contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and utility infrastructure projects. Carol ensures compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with strategic Army resilience and environmental sustainability goals. Carol maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, 4K Global-ACC MP, LLC, COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION, LGX-RBS, LLC, and SOUTHWIND CONSTRUCTION CORP. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military infrastructure, facility maintenance, and heavy construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and mission alignment. Carol demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable portion awarded through 8(a) competed programs. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high standards of technical capability and delivery. She actively leverages small business set-asides to strengthen the defense industrial base and promote equitable access to federal construction opportunities. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing facility upgrades, site development, stormwater systems, and utility line installations. Carol brings specialized expertise in managing complex construction contracts requiring strict adherence to military standards, environmental regulations, and DoD infrastructure resilience requirements.
