His procurement approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with environmental and safety standards. Davis’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic designation. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all contractors must meet stringent qualification benchmarks tied to specialized engineering capabilities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing large-diameter dredging, riverbank stabilization, sediment management, and navigation channel deepening. Davis’s expertise centers on complex, multi-year civil works projects requiring advanced marine equipment, hydrographic surveying, and environmental mitigation planning.
