Jenifer M. Bordelon

Jenifer M. Bordelon serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist New Orleans office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical civil infrastructure projects focused on flood risk reduction, coastal restoration, and hydraulic engineering across the Gulf Coast. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to design, construct, and maintain large-scale water resource systems that protect vulnerable Louisiana communities from storm surge and erosion. She manages complex, high-stakes contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily for heavy civil engineering construction, ensuring compliance with federal standards while advancing long-term resilience goals. Bordelon maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC. These firms are frequently selected for their expertise in dredging, marine construction, earthmoving, and hydraulic structure installation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven, technically capable vendors with demonstrated experience in complex coastal environments, fostering long-term collaborative relationships grounded in performance and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 62.1% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (24.1%), 8(a) competed awards (6.9%), and Women-Owned Small Business set-asides (6.9%). This balanced approach ensures market competitiveness while advancing socioeconomic goals mandated by federal policy. Bordelon’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting her leadership in acquiring large-scale infrastructure such as levees, floodwalls, and channel stabilization systems. She also procures related services including limestone quarrying, concrete product manufacturing, and lubricant supply for heavy equipment, demonstrating deep domain expertise in civil works engineering and environmental construction.
