Jake Davis

Jake Davis serves as a procurement professional within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Rock Island office, supporting civil infrastructure programs under the Department of Defense. He manages the acquisition of specialized engineering and construction services critical to the maintenance, modernization, and resilience of federal water resources infrastructure, including navigation locks, flood control structures, and riverine systems. His portfolio centers on complex civil works projects requiring technical expertise in hydraulic engineering, dredging, and environmental compliance, ensuring alignment with federal standards and operational readiness goals. Davis plays a pivotal role in translating mission-critical infrastructure needs into compliant, performance-based contract actions. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including J.F. Brennan Company, Inc., Sealevel Construction Inc., Johnpac, LLC, Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., and Ellicott Dredge Technologies, LLC—firms recognized for their experience in heavy civil construction, dredging operations, and aquatic infrastructure maintenance. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven capabilities in navigating complex regulatory environments, managing long-term maintenance contracts, and executing technically demanding field operations under strict environmental and safety protocols. Davis exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation. The remaining half are open competitions, reflecting flexibility to source specialized capabilities while maintaining robust small business engagement across multiple contract actions. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 519130—Other Information Services—which, in this context, refers to specialized engineering and technical support services for civil works infrastructure. This includes hydrographic surveying, hydraulic modeling, dredging system design, and maintenance planning services essential to sustaining the nation’s inland waterways and flood risk management systems. His expertise lies in procuring high-integrity technical services that support long-term infrastructure resilience and environmental stewardship.
