Kenyanna Jennings

Kenyanna Jennings serves as the primary procurement lead for the W072 Endist Nashville office under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical civil infrastructure and military facility projects. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and administration, Jennings ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize water resource systems, transportation networks, and public works installations. Her portfolio primarily includes construction and specialty trade contracts supporting national defense, flood control, and recreational infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Jennings maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including C.J. Mahan Construction Company, LLC, Graham Services LLC, and TNT Group 2 LLC, all of which have demonstrated proven capabilities in heavy civil and specialty trade construction. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with established track records in complex infrastructure environments, particularly those experienced in federal compliance, safety protocols, and project delivery under stringent military and civil engineering standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, technical proficiency, and timely execution. A strong advocate for small business participation, Jennings consistently structures procurements to maximize socioeconomic opportunities, with nearly 50% of awards issued as no set-aside and over 43% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Additionally, she actively supports service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, allocating approximately 6.3% of awards to SDVOSB concerns, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden contractor diversity while maintaining mission readiness. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 238160 (roofing), 332312 (fabricated structural metal), 237110 (water and sewer line construction), 237990 (other heavy civil engineering), and 238990 (other specialty trade contractors). These categories reflect a deep specialization in durable, high-integrity infrastructure systems, requiring precise specifications, materials testing, and adherence to Army Corps engineering standards.
