Jack Schevel

Jack Schevel serves as Facility Manager for the Wicomico County Corrections Agency, where he oversees the planning, procurement, and lifecycle management of infrastructure projects critical to detention and institutional operations. In this primary role, he directs acquisitions for commercial and institutional building construction, ensuring that facility upgrades align with safety, security, and operational standards. His responsibilities include managing design-build contracts, renovation scopes, and maintenance-related construction services to sustain the integrity of correctional facilities, including administrative, recreational, and programmatic spaces. Schevel’s procurement focus is squarely on capital improvements and long-term infrastructure resilience. Schevel maintains strategic working relationships with general contractors and construction firms specializing in institutional and correctional environments. He collaborates closely with vendors experienced in high-security building standards, including those proficient in HVAC systems for confined spaces, reinforced structural components, and compliant electrical and plumbing installations. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with state and federal building codes, and timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure. While no specific contractor relationships are currently highlighted, his pattern indicates a preference for contractors with demonstrated experience in public sector corrections facilities. Schevel’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions open to all eligible bidders without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This reflects a prioritization of technical capability and facility-specific expertise over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation. His procurement framework is performance-driven, emphasizing qualifications, past performance, and adherence to correctional facility standards over demographic-based set-asides. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, major renovations, and system upgrades for detention and correctional facilities. He routinely procures services related to structural reinforcement, security retrofitting, plumbing and electrical modernization, and HVAC systems designed for high-occupancy institutional use. His domain expertise lies in the technical and regulatory demands of correctional infrastructure, ensuring all projects meet Maryland’s public safety and facility operational requirements.
