Claxton Fallen

Major Claxton Fallen serves as a key contracting officer within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical heavy and civil engineering services to support military infrastructure readiness. His role centers on managing full lifecycle contracts for the construction, repair, and environmental remediation of federal installations, including roads, airfields, water systems, and structural facilities. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s long-term engineering and sustainability goals, frequently handling complex, high-stakes projects requiring specialized technical oversight and interagency coordination. Major Fallen maintains established working relationships with a select group of experienced prime contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and CURTIN MARITIME CORP, all of which possess proven capabilities in large-scale civil works and marine construction. He also regularly engages MATTHEWS GROUP INC and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC, reflecting a balanced approach that integrates national firms with tribal and minority-owned entities. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous site supervision, and adherence to environmental and safety standards. His procurement strategy reflects an even split between total small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering competition while ensuring access for qualified small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic categories dominate, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive effort to expand participation across diverse vendor communities, including HUBZone and SDVOSB firms where eligible. Major Fallen’s expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing everything from dam and levee rehabilitation to military base utility upgrades. He specializes in procurements requiring advanced geotechnical, hydraulic, and structural engineering solutions, with deep familiarity in federal construction codes, environmental compliance, and federally funded infrastructure delivery systems.
