Leila S. Miller

Leila S. Miller serves as a Contracting Officer for W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services for military and federal installations. Her portfolio encompasses the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical readiness objectives. She routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements for commercial, industrial, and institutional building construction, as well as related electrical and environmental remediation services, aligning acquisitions with the Army’s long-term infrastructure modernization goals. Miller maintains established relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and CURTIN MARITIME CORP, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in large-scale civil works, maritime construction, and institutional facility upgrades. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and sustained vendor accountability, fostering reliable, long-term collaborations with firms capable of delivering high-complexity projects under stringent military standards. While the majority of her acquisitions—85.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Miller consistently allocates 14.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. She prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance competition and capability development, particularly favoring small businesses with demonstrated experience in construction and infrastructure support, without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by electrical contracting (238210) and industrial construction (236210). She specializes in procuring turnkey construction services, building systems integration, and related electrical infrastructure, reflecting deep technical expertise in facility modernization and mission-critical construction environments.
