Celestine G Evans

Celestine G. Evans serves as a key procurement professional within the W07V Endist Memphis office under the Department of the Army, overseeing complex civil engineering and industrial maintenance acquisitions critical to sustaining Army installation infrastructure. Responsible for managing contracts that ensure operational readiness of engineer yards, logistics hubs, and heavy equipment systems, Evans handles a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and specialized manufacturing procurements aligned with the Army’s force projection mission. Their work directly supports the modernization and resilience of military facilities through technical, mission-critical contracting actions. Evans maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including SIA SOLUTIONS LLC, SUPERIOR-LIDGERWOOD-MUNDY CORP, DONALD BOND CONSTRUCTION INC., VIXEN LLC, and FIREWATCH CONTRACTING OF FLORIDA LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of executing large-scale industrial maintenance, facility rehabilitation, and specialized equipment services. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade infrastructure support, often involving complex technical specifications and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers standards. While the majority of acquisitions (75%) are conducted without set-asides, Evans maintains a deliberate 25% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. This balanced approach ensures competition while enabling capable small firms to contribute to mission-critical projects. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in four NAICS categories, each representing 25% of activity: explosives manufacturing (325920), communications equipment manufacturing (334290 and 334220), and commercial/industrial machinery repair and maintenance (811310). This reflects deep technical expertise in procuring specialized defense-related equipment, communications systems, and industrial maintenance services essential to sustaining military operational environments.
