Patrick Collins

Patrick Collins serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Portland office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical infrastructure resilience across the Pacific Northwest. He manages complex acquisitions for heavy civil engineering, environmental compliance, and operational maintenance of federal waterways, hydropower systems, and flood control infrastructure. His portfolio emphasizes technical services and construction-related contracts aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain navigational assets and ensure regulatory adherence. Collins routinely handles solicitations under FAR Part 36 and 37, focusing on performance-based contracting and lifecycle management of mission-critical facilities. He maintains established working relationships with top-tier engineering and construction firms including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AECOM B&V PORTLAND AE JV, CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., and TETRA TECH, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, multi-disciplinary contractors capable of delivering integrated solutions in hydrology, environmental remediation, and infrastructure modernization. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on proven industry partners with demonstrated technical capacity and regional expertise in Pacific Northwest water resource systems. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (70.9%), he consistently facilitates small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (29.1%), aligning with FAR 19.5. His approach supports equitable access for qualified small businesses without favoring specific socioeconomic categories, reflecting a balanced commitment to competition and capability. His primary NAICS focus includes Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries (112511), reflecting aquatic ecosystem management needs; Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690) for environmental and hydrologic analysis; and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990) for specialized engineering support.
