Frederick Coffey serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Detroit office under the Department of the Army’s W911XK contracting activity, where he manages large-scale civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition programs critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracts for waterway maintenance, harbor construction, dredging operations, and breakwater systems, ensuring operational readiness of inland waterways and coastal infrastructure. Coffey specializes in complex, mission-critical acquisitions under the Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction NAICS code, coordinating with engineers, environmental specialists, and field units to align contracting strategy with technical and regulatory requirements for federal civil works projects. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure, and specialized dredging services.

Coffey’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition for technically demanding projects requiring specialized capabilities not typically available within small business pools. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, his acquisitions prioritize technical competency, past performance, and capacity to execute complex civil works under stringent federal standards. His primary industry focus is NAICS 237990, encompassing heavy civil engineering construction for military waterways, navigation channels, and coastal defense structures. He procures services including dredging, bulkhead installation, hydraulic structure repair, and environmental mitigation works, requiring deep domain expertise in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standards, marine construction methodologies, and federal environmental compliance frameworks.
