Jessica Booth

Jessica Booth serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Jacksonville office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing acquisitions critical to civil infrastructure and environmental restoration missions across Florida’s waterways. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on hydraulic engineering, dredging operations, shoreline stabilization, and ecosystem rehabilitation projects that directly support military readiness and federal water resource management. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Booth maintains long-standing partnerships with leading civil works contractors including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, WEEKS MARINE, INC., MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These relationships reflect a pattern of engaging experienced, technically capable firms with proven expertise in marine construction, heavy civil engineering, and environmental remediation. Her procurement approach prioritizes performance history, technical capability, and operational reliability, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order contracting mechanisms to respond to dynamic project demands. Her contracting strategy reflects an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate and consistent commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, she actively cultivates relationships with qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized engineering services and equipment critical to mission success. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 333995 (Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing) and 513210 (Software Publishers), indicating a growing integration of advanced hydraulic systems and custom engineering software solutions into infrastructure projects. This dual emphasis underscores her expertise in procuring both physical actuation systems for dredging equipment and specialized software for hydraulic modeling, environmental monitoring, and asset management systems.
