Daryl L. Cockerille

Daryl L. Cockerille serves as a Crane Operator within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical infrastructure construction and maintenance missions across military installations. While primarily an operational role, his expertise directly informs procurement decisions related to heavy equipment operations, lifting systems, and specialized rigging services. He collaborates closely with contracting teams to define technical requirements for crane-related services, ensuring compliance with safety standards and mission-critical timelines. His input shapes solicitations for equipment operation, maintenance, and site-specific lifting solutions essential to facility construction, environmental remediation, and civil engineering projects. Cockerille regularly engages with a core group of contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in military-grade infrastructure projects, maritime construction, and heavy-lift operations. His working relationships are characterized by sustained collaboration, with repeat engagements based on performance, safety records, and ability to meet stringent Army Corps specifications for equipment certification and operational readiness. His procurement activities are exclusively structured under Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a steadfast commitment to maximizing opportunities for small businesses across all socioeconomic categories. This approach ensures broad participation from qualified small firms capable of delivering specialized crane and lifting services, reinforcing the Army’s mandate to promote equitable access to federal contracting. Cockerille’s technical focus centers on NAICS 811310—Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance—where he supports the procurement of crane servicing, preventive maintenance, calibration, and operator training. His domain expertise lies in heavy-lift machinery, mobile crane systems, and industrial rigging equipment, ensuring that all contracted services align with Department of the Army safety and operational standards.
