Jaime C. Scott Howard

Jaime C. Scott Howard serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Norfolk office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Eastern United States. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions, Howard oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, military housing, and base infrastructure projects. Their work directly enables operational readiness and force protection through timely delivery of resilient, mission-critical facilities, leveraging federal acquisition regulations to ensure compliance, efficiency, and mission alignment. Howard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc., VanAr Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc., all of whom have demonstrated proven capability in delivering large-scale military construction and civil engineering services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing firms with a track record of executing complex projects under stringent military standards. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of procurements are conducted as open competitions (73.7%), Howard actively supports small business participation through targeted set-asides, with 15.8% awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority and 5.3% each allocated to HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements or schedule integrity. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310). Architectural services (541310) and specialized pipeline construction (237120) round out the technical focus, underscoring expertise in integrated facility development, infrastructure resilience, and multi-disciplinary project delivery for military installations.
