Qiana Bowman-Spencer

Qiana Bowman-Spencer serves as a Contract Specialist with the W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions for critical military infrastructure projects. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, engineering, and civil works services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical readiness objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and associated engineering services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mandate to maintain and modernize federal and military installations across the nation. Bowman-Spencer maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on experienced, high-capacity firms capable of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects under stringent federal standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and compliance with safety, environmental, and quality assurance protocols. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with a pronounced preference for Women-Owned Small Business set-asides at 33.3%, complemented by a significant portion of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her actions remain open to full and open competition, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved vendors in the defense construction sector. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which dominates her portfolio, alongside NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services). She specializes in procuring services related to facility construction, site development, environmental remediation, and structural engineering, ensuring that projects meet both operational military requirements and federal sustainability standards.
