Clinton Jacobsen

Clinton Jacobsen serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Portland office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing complex civil engineering and technical service acquisitions critical to the operational resilience of federal waterways and defense-related infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain hydropower systems, flood control structures, and navigational channels through the execution of heavy civil engineering contracts and specialized technical services. Jacobsen routinely oversees the acquisition lifecycle for large-scale construction, environmental compliance, and infrastructure maintenance projects, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical timelines. He maintains sustained working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, AECOM B&V Portland AE JV, Cornforth-Gannett Fleming, Stantec Consulting Services Inc., and Tetra Tech, Inc.—firms recognized for their expertise in heavy civil construction, hydraulic modeling, and environmental engineering. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven capacity to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent federal standards, often involving coordination with regulatory agencies and stakeholder communities. Jacobsen’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 41% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small firms in the civil engineering and technical services sectors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and related construction specialties. He regularly procures services involving dam and levee rehabilitation, sediment management, hydraulic structure maintenance, and environmental remediation, reflecting deep technical expertise in federal infrastructure resilience and water resource management.
