Robert J. Fuselier

Robert J. Fuselier serves as a Contract Specialist for W07V Endist New Orleans under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he manages the full lifecycle of complex civil engineering procurements critical to Gulf Coast infrastructure resilience. His role centers on soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for large-scale hydraulic and flood risk reduction projects, including levee construction, dredging, coastal restoration, and water resource management systems. Fuselier ensures strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to safeguard vulnerable communities from storm surge and erosion through durable, engineered solutions. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC. These firms are recognized for their expertise in heavy civil construction, marine earthmoving, and hydraulic infrastructure execution. Fuselier fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in navigating challenging coastal environments and meeting stringent environmental and safety standards. Fuselier’s procurement strategy is uniformly centered on HUBZone set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions designated for qualified HUBZone small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to economic development in historically underserved communities, ensuring that federal infrastructure investments directly benefit economically distressed regions. His contracting patterns prioritize small business participation as a core mission objective, not merely a compliance requirement. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing dredging, bulkhead installation, channel stabilization, and flood control structure fabrication. Fuselier’s expertise lies in procuring specialized services requiring advanced marine engineering, sediment management, and environmental mitigation, making him a key steward of mission-critical civil works projects across Louisiana’s dynamic waterways.
