Jeremy Wells

Jeremy Wells serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex engineering and infrastructure acquisitions within a federal agency focused on national infrastructure development. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions, from requirement definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. His work is central to delivering large-scale civil engineering projects that support public works, transportation, and environmental resilience. He primarily handles sole-source and competitive sealed-bid contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on performance-based acquisition strategies and risk mitigation in high-stakes construction environments. His contractor relationships are predominantly with prime contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, including firms experienced in earthmoving, structural concrete, and large-scale earth retention systems. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with contractors possessing proven capabilities in heavy civil engineering, often requiring specialized equipment and federal security clearances. His procurement approach favors established firms with demonstrated technical expertise and past performance on similar projects, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and regulatory compliance. Jeremy maintains a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued as unrestricted awards under the “No Set-Aside” classification. He does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical qualification and capacity to execute complex engineering tasks over socioeconomic criteria. His contracting philosophy centers on mission-critical delivery rather than socioeconomic targeting, aligning with agency priorities for efficiency and performance. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing non-residential infrastructure such as dams, bridges, tunnels, and large-scale grading projects. He specializes in procuring turnkey construction services requiring advanced geotechnical engineering, hydraulic modeling, and environmental compliance. His domain expertise lies in managing technically intricate, federally funded civil works that demand precision, regulatory adherence, and robust contractor oversight.
