Lakesha Manor

Lakesha Manor serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and environmental infrastructure services critical to Army installation readiness. She manages a portfolio of complex construction, renovation, and remediation contracts aimed at modernizing aging facilities, utilities, and environmental compliance systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain operational infrastructure through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting, with a focus on design-build, renovation, and environmental remediation projects that align with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal environmental regulations. Manor maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced joint ventures and specialty contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military facility upgrades, hazardous material abatement, and utility system modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term contractor reliability over transactional vendor relationships. Manor’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors to meet complex technical requirements, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB mechanisms, the agency maintains compliance with all federal small business goals through subcontracting obligations and voluntary inclusion where competitive advantage aligns with technical capability. Her procurement focus centers on civil engineering, facility renovation, environmental remediation, and infrastructure modernization, with NAICS codes typically encompassing 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), and 541611 (Environmental Consulting Services). She specializes in procuring services requiring deep technical expertise in asbestos abatement, groundwater remediation, energy-efficient retrofits, and military-specific construction standards.
