Nancy J. Tullis

Nancy J. Tullis serves as a Contracting Officer for the W07V Endist New Orleans under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the acquisition of critical civil infrastructure services essential to flood risk reduction and coastal resilience across the Gulf Coast. Her portfolio centers on large-scale hydraulic and water resource projects, including dredging, levee construction, and erosion control systems. Tullis is responsible for end-to-end contract lifecycle management—from needs assessment and solicitation to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to protect vulnerable communities from storm surge and environmental degradation. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC, all of whom specialize in heavy civil works, marine construction, and environmental remediation. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven technical capability and operational reliability in high-risk, mission-critical environments. Tullis typically engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contracts, emphasizing technical merit, safety protocols, and environmental stewardship. Tullis’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes technical competency and proven performance over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring mission-critical outcomes are met with the most qualified industry partners. Her primary NAICS focus is 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on geotechnical, hydrologic, and environmental testing required to validate design integrity and regulatory compliance for civil works projects. She procures specialized services including soil sampling, water quality analysis, sediment characterization, and structural monitoring—all essential to the lifecycle management of flood control infrastructure in Louisiana’s dynamic coastal ecosystems.
