Jessica Butko

Jessica Butko serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Seattle office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing civil infrastructure and construction acquisitions critical to military installation resilience across the Pacific Northwest. She oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for heavy civil engineering, facility construction, and environmental remediation projects that directly support Department of Defense readiness objectives. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, mission-critical procurements involving nonresidential building leasing and related infrastructure services, ensuring alignment with federal construction standards and sustainability mandates. Butko maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in military-grade construction, marine infrastructure, and federal compliance. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term, performance-based vendor relationships characterized by technical rigor, adherence to federal construction codes, and a focus on delivery timelines critical to operational continuity. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in her procurement activity, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on capability and capacity over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission urgency and technical expertise in a high-stakes construction environment where specialized experience is paramount. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating a specialized domain in the acquisition of leased facility space and associated infrastructure services for military use. This includes the procurement of turnkey building leases, site preparation, utility integration, and compliance with DoD environmental and security standards, demonstrating deep expertise in real property acquisition and installation support within the federal construction ecosystem.
