Cynthia M. Hall

Cynthia M. Hall serves as Deputy Contracting Chief for W07V Endist New Orleans under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of complex civil works contracts critical to Gulf Coast infrastructure resilience. In this leadership role, she guides the acquisition strategy for large-scale hydraulic and civil engineering projects focused on flood risk reduction, coastal restoration, and water resource management. Her portfolio primarily includes construction and emergency relief services requiring specialized expertise in dredging, levee construction, and ecosystem rehabilitation, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical timelines. Hall maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC. These vendors are consistently selected for their proven capacity in heavy civil engineering, marine construction, and sediment management operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and contractor reliability, fostering long-term partnerships built on operational excellence and regulatory compliance. Hall’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she ensures equitable access through transparent solicitation practices and clear evaluation criteria that reward demonstrated experience in high-risk environmental construction. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 624230 (Emergency and Other Relief Services) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in post-disaster response, flood control system upgrades, and large-scale dredging operations. She specializes in acquiring services that integrate environmental remediation with structural engineering, ensuring projects meet both federal safety standards and ecological restoration goals.
