Qiana Bowman-Spencer

Qiana Bowman-Spencer serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical infrastructure and facility support programs. She executes complex construction and engineering contracts under FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain military readiness through the construction, renovation, and remediation of federal facilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and associated support services, requiring deep technical knowledge of construction standards, environmental remediation protocols, and federal project delivery methods. Bowman-Spencer maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and MATTHEWS GROUP INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, experienced firms capable of executing large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects under stringent security and operational requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparency and regulatory rigor. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, while maintaining a deliberate 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she actively supports small business participation through targeted set-asides and subcontracting opportunities aligned with socioeconomic goals. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with additional procurement activity in janitorial services, office furniture, and specialized engine equipment. This reflects a broad but focused domain expertise in facility sustainment, infrastructure modernization, and mission-critical support services essential to Department of Defense operational readiness.
