LaShae N. Joiner

LaShae N. Joiner serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure and environmental services at federal water resource and recreation sites across Arkansas. Their role centers on executing full-cycle contracting for operations supporting public access to lakes and reservoirs, including janitorial, landscaping, waste management, and light construction services. Joiner ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, clean, and accessible recreational facilities for federal stakeholders and the public. Joiner maintains longstanding partnerships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetes and task order renewals, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capability in environmental stewardship and facility operations. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on service quality, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity across dynamic field environments. A defining feature of Joiner’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring 100% of eligible contracts are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals, fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms to deliver essential public services. No other set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a singular focus on broad-based small business inclusion. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in two NAICS categories: 212312 (Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining and Quarrying) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), each accounting for half of activity. This dual focus reveals expertise in sourcing both natural material supply chains for shoreline stabilization and maintenance and professional cleaning services for high-traffic public facilities. Joiner’s domain knowledge spans environmental compliance, site-specific logistics, and service-level performance metrics essential to federal recreation management.
