Patrick Collins

Patrick Collins supports the W071 Endist Portland under the Department of the Army, managing procurement activities critical to sustaining federal waterway infrastructure and defense-related facilities across the Pacific Northwest. He oversees the acquisition of heavy civil engineering services, specialized technical support, and environmental compliance solutions for hydropower, flood control, and navigational systems. His role centers on ensuring operational readiness through strategic contracting that aligns with Army Corps of Engineers’ mission priorities, emphasizing long-term infrastructure resilience and regulatory adherence. He typically handles complex, multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts requiring technical expertise in civil works and environmental engineering. Collins maintains consistent working relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., HDR ENGINEERING INC, TETRA TECH, INC., and CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service contractors capable of delivering integrated design-build, environmental remediation, and infrastructure maintenance solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor capacity to execute large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent federal standards. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 82.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is modest, he consistently allocates 15.7% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with an additional 2.0% reserved for women-owned small businesses, reflecting a balanced but non-dominant emphasis on socioeconomic programs. The agency’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541990 (professional and technical services), particularly environmental consulting and engineering design, followed by 334220 for communications equipment supporting operational systems. Additional activity includes landscaping, solid waste management, and fish hatchery services tied to ecological restoration mandates. His expertise lies in managing technically complex procurements requiring interdisciplinary coordination between civil, environmental, and infrastructure domains.
