Nicholas J Narcisse

Nicholas J. Narcisse serves as a Contract Specialist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W07V Endist New Orleans office, where he plays a pivotal role in executing civil works procurement missions critical to Gulf Coast resilience. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisition programs focused on heavy civil engineering, including flood risk reduction, coastal restoration, and hydraulic infrastructure projects. His portfolio centers on design-build, construction, and dredging contracts that support the Army’s mission to safeguard vulnerable waterways in Louisiana through durable, engineered solutions. Narcisse ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic infrastructure priorities for the region. He maintains long-standing 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—industry leaders in marine construction, earthmoving, and hydraulic works. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, technically capable firms with proven expertise in large-scale civil works execution. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and contractor reliability in high-risk, environmentally sensitive environments. Narcisse’s procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 92.3% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature and scale of required capabilities. Only 7.7% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but intentional approach to small business participation when market conditions and technical requirements align. While socioeconomic programs are not the primary focus, he ensures compliance and fairness in all solicitations. His primary NAICS focus is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing levee construction, channel stabilization, and storm surge protection systems. He also procures specialized equipment under 334519 for hydrologic monitoring and control devices. Narcisse’s expertise lies in managing technically demanding, mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions that demand precision, regulatory adherence, and environmental stewardship.
