Regina M Wheeler

Regina M. Wheeler serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist at W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of complex construction and engineering contracts critical to military infrastructure readiness. Her role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurements for federal facilities, civil works, and environmental remediation projects, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven delivery of durable, mission-critical infrastructure across Army installations. She routinely handles large-scale, multi-year acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with emphasis on design-build, construction management, and professional engineering services. Wheeler maintains consistent, long-term partnerships 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 relationships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of executing heavy civil engineering and institutional construction at scale. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering collaborative yet rigorous oversight throughout project execution. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Wheeler directs 71.4% of her portfolio toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and HUBZone-certified firms. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a deliberate strategy to expand access for small businesses in high-barrier sectors like civil engineering, aligning with Army mandates to promote equitable participation and workforce development in federal contracting. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), where she procures dredging, site development, and infrastructure rehabilitation services. She also regularly manages acquisitions under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), demonstrating deep expertise in civil infrastructure, structural design, and project delivery systems requiring specialized engineering oversight and compliance with military construction standards.
