James E Hallman

James E. Hallman serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W075 Endist San Francisco office, supporting the Department of the Army’s civil works mission. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for infrastructure projects focused on flood control, dam safety, levee systems, and beneficial use of dredged material. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly as they relate to environmental and public works construction. Hallman’s portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical civil engineering contracts requiring technical precision and regulatory adherence. Hallman maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including BFBC LLC, Granite Construction Company, Manson Construction Co., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CAM-DUTRA JV-II LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, water resource infrastructure, and site development. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with demonstrated capacity to execute large-scale, multi-year public works projects under stringent environmental and safety standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 64.5% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 32.3% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 3.2% to 8(a) competed contracts. This balance reflects a deliberate effort to foster market diversity while ensuring technical readiness and project continuity. Hallman’s primary NAICS focus areas include 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with additional activity in waste management and recreational facility development. His expertise spans civil infrastructure, environmental remediation, and public works construction, requiring deep familiarity with federal engineering standards and sustainable resource management practices.
