Rasheedah Sneeze

Rasheedah Sneeze serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Jacksonville office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing civil infrastructure and environmental engineering acquisitions critical to military readiness. She oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for hydraulic structures, dredging operations, shoreline stabilization, and ecosystem restoration projects across Florida’s coastal and inland waterways. Her role is central to executing the agency’s mission of sustaining navigational channels, flood control systems, and resilient infrastructure through compliant, mission-driven contracting practices. She routinely handles complex, multi-year heavy civil engineering procurements under FAR Part 36, often involving intricate engineering specifications and environmental compliance requirements. Sneeze maintains consistent relationships with a core group of experienced contractors specializing in marine and civil works, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, WEEKS MARINE, INC., MANSON CONSTRUCTION CO, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in dredging, bulkhead installation, sediment management, and large-scale earthwork. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, past performance, and operational reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on high-stakes, mission-critical projects. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This dual approach ensures robust competition while actively promoting small business participation in complex civil engineering markets. She does not favor specific socioeconomic categories exclusively but consistently integrates small business capabilities into the broader contractor pool. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing large-scale infrastructure projects requiring specialized marine and earthmoving capabilities. She also procures services under NAICS 237110 for water and sewer line construction, reflecting a technical domain expertise in hydraulic engineering, coastal resilience, and environmental restoration.
