Carrie Holub

Carrie Holub serves as the primary contracting lead for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Rock Island office, overseeing the acquisition of civil infrastructure and public works projects critical to national water resource management. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and environmental remediation contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain dams, locks, flood control systems, and riverine infrastructure. Her procurements emphasize long-term operational resilience, leveraging full and open competition alongside targeted set-asides to ensure mission-critical capabilities are delivered with efficiency and accountability. Holub’s work directly supports Army readiness and public safety through the procurement of complex engineering services and heavy civil construction solutions. Holub maintains consistent, long-standing relationships with key contractors including J.F. Brennan Company, Inc., Sealevel Construction Inc., JohnPac, LLC, Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., and Ellicott Dredge Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven expertise in heavy civil engineering, dredging, and hydraulic structure maintenance. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with demonstrated technical proficiency in navigating complex federal water projects, often involving specialized equipment and environmental compliance protocols. These vendor relationships are built on performance reliability and technical alignment with the Corps’ infrastructure lifecycle management objectives. Holub prioritizes small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 3.9% are reserved for women-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity within the civil works sector. While nearly half of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides signals a strong institutional commitment to fostering small business growth in federally funded infrastructure markets. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in construction machinery manufacturing (333120), industrial equipment repair (811310), and hazardous waste treatment (562211). She routinely acquires specialized dredging equipment, heavy civil construction services, and maintenance for navigation and flood control systems, demonstrating deep expertise in water resource infrastructure lifecycle management and environmental compliance.
