MAJ Freya Evangelista

Freya Evangelista serves as the primary contracting lead for W072 Endist Detroit, a critical unit within the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining and modernizing military civil works infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for large-scale civil engineering projects, including dredging, harbor construction, breakwater maintenance, and environmental remediation. Her procurement activities directly support operational readiness by ensuring the functionality of inland waterways and coastal defense systems essential to military logistics and national security. Evangelista handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight of heavy construction, environmental compliance, and long-term infrastructure resilience. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil engineering, marine construction, and specialized electrical systems for military environments. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, high-capacity firms capable of executing technically demanding projects under stringent federal standards. Evangelista’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open competitions, with 92.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, reflecting a focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomic preferences. Only 7.7% of contracts are set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, indicating a strategic emphasis on competitive, full-and-open acquisition pathways rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by remediation services (562910) and machinery leasing (532490). She routinely procures dredging equipment, marine structures, environmental cleanup systems, and integrated electrical infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in military civil works and infrastructure modernization.
