Evan B. Carter

Evan B. Carter serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to deliver critical infrastructure across military and federal installations. He manages the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing operational readiness through timely, high-quality facility development and maintenance. His portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220, encompassing new construction, renovations, and infrastructure upgrades for military barracks, administrative buildings, and institutional facilities. Carter maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 firms with proven expertise in complex federal construction environments, including maritime and institutional projects. His contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, safety compliance, and schedule adherence, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparency and accountability. A defining feature of Carter’s procurement strategy is his strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides each accounting for 50% of his awarded contracts. This balanced approach ensures meaningful participation from historically underutilized businesses, particularly those located in economically distressed areas and owned by socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs. His consistent use of these set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to promote equitable access to federal construction opportunities. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 236220, where he specializes in the full lifecycle of commercial and institutional building projects—from site preparation and structural framing to MEP systems and compliance with UFC standards. He procures services requiring advanced coordination of design-build delivery, environmental remediation, and sustainable construction practices, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal construction codes and military facility requirements.
