Erica Taylor

Erica Taylor serves as a primary contracting professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, playing a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to deliver critical civil and military infrastructure solutions. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on engineering services, commercial and institutional construction, and environmental remediation, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with USACE’s strategic priorities in resilience, sustainability, and infrastructure modernization. Her work directly supports the design, construction, and maintenance of water control systems, flood risk reduction projects, and environmentally compliant facilities across domestic and international theaters. While specific contractor names are not available, Taylor’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of firms capable of delivering complex engineering and construction services. She routinely collaborates with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses possessing technical expertise in geospatial surveying, structural design, and hazardous material remediation. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, integrated project delivery, and lifecycle cost analysis to ensure long-term operational readiness and mission success. Taylor’s contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with the majority of her acquisitions conducted under open competition (83.3%). However, she actively promotes small business participation, consistently allocating nearly 15% of opportunities as total small business set-asides and approximately 2% to women-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster economic inclusion without compromising technical rigor or mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), underscoring her technical proficiency in civil engineering design, building systems integration, and construction management. She also regularly procures remediation services (562910) and geophysical surveying (541360), demonstrating deep domain expertise in environmental compliance and site characterization—key pillars of USACE’s infrastructure stewardship mission.
