Jodelle Ferguson

Jodelle Ferguson supports the procurement mission of the W2SD Endist Norfolk, a key component of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Department of the Army, by managing acquisitions for critical military infrastructure projects across the Eastern United States. She oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for heavy civil engineering and commercial construction, ensuring alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities in base modernization, force protection, and resilient facility sustainment. Her work directly enables operational readiness through the delivery of military housing, administrative buildings, and mission-critical infrastructure, applying full lifecycle contracting expertise under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Ferguson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including CLARK CONSTRUCTION GROUP LLC, SAWYER SERVICES INC, VANAR EASTERN JV1, LLC, and RITZ CONSTRUCTION INC, all of which possess proven capabilities in complex military construction environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated experience in federal construction delivery, particularly those with prior performance on Army Corps projects. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based outcomes. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ferguson consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her awards designated for small business concerns. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense construction sector, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. While no other set-aside categories dominate her portfolio, her procurement strategy actively cultivates a pipeline of qualified small contractors capable of meeting rigorous military construction standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing site development, utilities, and transportation infrastructure, alongside NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) for barracks, administrative facilities, and support structures. This dual specialization reflects deep expertise in both large-scale civil works and mission-aligned building construction, requiring precise adherence to military specifications and environmental compliance standards.
