Jacqueline B. Adekanbi

Jacqueline B. Adekanbi serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W076 Endist Galveston, operating under agency code W912HY. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex civil infrastructure procurements critical to national defense readiness and water resource management. Her portfolio centers on heavy civil engineering contracts, including dredging, channel stabilization, coastal resilience projects, and related construction services. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance critical waterway systems across the nation. Adekanbi maintains established working relationships with leading heavy civil contractors including ORION GOVERNMENT SERVICES LLC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, THE DUTRA GROUP, CALLAN MARINE LIMITED, and RUSSELL MARINE LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on firms with specialized maritime and large-scale earthmoving capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical rigor, and risk mitigation in high-complexity environments, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in regulatory compliance and operational reliability. Her set-aside preferences reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with the majority of procurements conducted as open competitions (64.3%), while actively supporting small business participation through HUBZone (17.9%), 8(a) competed (7.1%), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (7.1%) set-asides. Though small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 remain a minor component, her contracting patterns demonstrate intentional inclusion of eligible small entities without compromising mission-critical capabilities. Adekanbi’s procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), accounting for over 73% of her activity, with secondary emphasis on industrial and commercial building construction and engineering services. She specializes in acquiring technical services related to dredging, marine structure construction, and geotechnical engineering, requiring deep domain expertise in federal water infrastructure standards and heavy construction methodologies.
