Comeka Carr

Comeka Carr serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Norfolk office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Eastern United States. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions, Carr oversees the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with force readiness, base modernization, and facility resilience. Her portfolio primarily includes engineering services, commercial and institutional building construction, and highway and bridge infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army-specific engineering standards. She plays a central role in translating operational requirements into actionable procurement strategies that deliver mission-critical infrastructure outcomes. Carr maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc., Vanar Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc., all of which have demonstrated consistent performance on large-scale military construction and engineering tasks. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, pre-qualified firms capable of executing technically demanding projects under stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and adherence to safety and quality benchmarks, fostering a stable vendor ecosystem that supports sustained operational readiness. While the majority of her acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Carr consistently allocates 16.7% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her procurement patterns prioritize capable small firms with proven expertise in construction and engineering services, aligning with broader Army goals to expand the defense industrial base while maintaining mission-critical standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, followed by 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). This specialization underscores her technical expertise in facility modernization, infrastructure resilience, and civil works projects that directly support military installations and troop readiness.
