Jason M. Carlock

Jason M. Carlock serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist Vicksburg office, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver critical civil infrastructure and military engineering solutions across the Mississippi River basin. He contributes to the acquisition lifecycle for large-scale civil works projects, including flood control systems, navigation channel maintenance, and levee construction, working in coordination with senior contracting officers to ensure compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical timelines. His role involves evaluating technical proposals, managing contract modifications, and facilitating interagency coordination to align contracting actions with regional water resource and resilience objectives. Carlock routinely engages with a core group of established contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, BAIRD-STANTEC JOINT VENTURE, ARCADIS U.S., INC., SOL-MERRICK JOINT VENTURE II, LLC, and LINFIELD, HUNTER & JUNIUS, INC., reflecting a preference for experienced joint ventures and vertically integrated firms capable of executing complex heavy civil engineering tasks. His working relationships emphasize long-term partnership models, with repeat engagements tied to technical expertise in hydraulic modeling, dredging operations, and geotechnical construction. His procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with over one-third of contracts set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, nearly 10% designated for women-owned small businesses, and targeted support for HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of awards remain open to all competitors, Carlock actively promotes small business inclusion through pre-solicitation outreach and teaming arrangements. The primary focus of his acquisitions centers on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing earthmoving, structural reinforcement, and waterway infrastructure development. He also supports niche procurements in navigational services and equipment leasing, demonstrating specialized expertise in marine and hydraulic engineering domains critical to the Army Corps’ civil works mission.
