Charles Boswell

Charles Boswell serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Seattle office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of heavy civil engineering and installation resilience projects critical to military readiness across the Pacific Northwest. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering contracts, including hydraulic infrastructure, facility modernization, and environmental remediation efforts aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain and upgrade critical installations. His work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing long-term infrastructure resilience through strategic contracting practices. Boswell maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in heavy civil works, including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in marine construction, structural engineering, and large-scale civil works. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. His procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses—particularly Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to empower veteran-owned enterprises and promote socioeconomic equity in defense contracting. Boswell’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and specialized construction trades such as roofing (238160). He procures complex infrastructure solutions involving coastal protection, hydraulic systems, and historical site preservation, reflecting deep domain expertise in military installation sustainability and environmental compliance. His acquisitions prioritize technical rigor, lifecycle cost efficiency, and mission-critical durability.
