Courtney Haynes

Courtney Haynes serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Philadelphia office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical civil infrastructure and maritime engineering missions for national defense. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in shipyard modernization, dredging, and coastal resilience projects, Haynes ensures alignment with Department of Defense strategic priorities by executing contracts that enhance port accessibility, navigation safety, and military installation durability. Their work spans design-build, construction, and engineering services, often requiring interdisciplinary coordination across civil, mechanical, and maritime domains to meet stringent federal standards. Haynes maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of industry partners, including Boh Environmental, CONRAD SHIPYARD, HDR ARCHITECTURE, BUCHART HORN, and NORFOLK DREDGING COMPANY, reflecting a preference for contractors with proven expertise in naval infrastructure and environmental compliance. These partnerships are characterized by sustained engagement across multiple contract cycles, indicating trust in technical capability and performance reliability. The agency prioritizes vendors with specialized experience in ship repair, heavy marine construction, and coastal engineering, fostering a stable ecosystem of qualified contractors capable of delivering mission-critical outcomes under demanding operational conditions. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Haynes’ contracting approach, with 72.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms in technical maritime and industrial sectors. Socioeconomic goals are actively integrated into solicitation design, ensuring equitable access to high-value engineering and construction opportunities while promoting workforce development in underserved communities. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with significant activity in overhead crane systems, industrial machinery maintenance, and specialized rubber product manufacturing for mechanical applications. This technical focus underscores deep expertise in naval infrastructure modernization, emphasizing durable, high-load systems essential for military port operations and vessel sustainment.
