Jewel Richardson

Jewel Richardson serves as a key procurement professional within the W075 Endist San Fran office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s civil works mission. She manages the acquisition of environmental consulting services critical to the planning, design, and compliance oversight of federal water resources infrastructure—including flood control systems, dam safety programs, levee maintenance, and beneficial use of dredged material. Her role centers on ensuring technical rigor, regulatory adherence, and lifecycle sustainability in public works projects, aligning procurement strategy with federal environmental mandates and engineering standards. She typically handles sole-source and competitive negotiated acquisitions under the 541620 NAICS code, prioritizing expert-led environmental assessments and mitigation planning. Richardson maintains long-standing contractual relationships with leading civil and environmental engineering firms, including BFBC LLC, Granite Construction Company, Manson Construction Co., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CAM-DUTRA JV-II LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in ecological restoration, hydrologic modeling, and sediment management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical qualifications, and past performance evaluations, fostering collaborative, mission-critical engagements that require deep domain knowledge and regulatory fluency. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all procurements are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting a mandate to source the most technically capable providers regardless of business size or certification status. This approach underscores a commitment to mission efficacy over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring that complex environmental projects are delivered by firms with the highest level of technical competence and field experience. Her procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541620—Environmental Consulting Services—encompassing environmental impact assessments, wetland delineations, endangered species surveys, sediment quality analyses, and remediation planning. She specializes in acquiring science-driven, compliance-oriented services essential to federal water infrastructure resilience, requiring expertise in NEPA, CERCLA, and Clean Water Act frameworks. Her work ensures that civil works projects meet stringent environmental standards while advancing national infrastructure goals.
