Regina G Blair

Regina G. Blair serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Chicago office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s civil infrastructure mission. She manages complex acquisitions for heavy civil engineering projects critical to national defense readiness, including water control systems, harbor facilities, erosion control structures, and related civil works. Her portfolio centers on design-build and construction services that enhance operational resilience, flood risk reduction, and navigational infrastructure. Blair ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with strategic Army civil works priorities. She maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors such as MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC. and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., both of which deliver high-complexity engineering and environmental remediation services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and environmental compliance, while also fostering collaboration with specialized subcontractors for niche technical services. Blair’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation in high-stakes, mission-critical environments. Blair demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 48% of her acquisitions structured as set-asides. Her primary socioeconomic preferences include Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and HUBZone contracts, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms. While the majority of awards are open competition, she consistently integrates small business goals into solicitation planning and evaluation criteria. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing large-scale infrastructure projects requiring advanced geotechnical, hydraulic, and structural engineering. Secondary categories include water and sewer line construction (237110) and commercial machinery repair (811310), underscoring her technical expertise in water resource management and facility sustainment. She routinely procures services involving concrete and stone construction (327991) and technical consulting for environmental and engineering design (541690), reinforcing her role as a specialist in defense-critical civil works procurement.
