Ross Lindsey

Ross Lindsey serves as a Contingency Contracting Officer for the W07V Endist New Orleans under the Department of the Army, where he executes mission-critical acquisitions to support civil infrastructure resilience across the Gulf Coast. His portfolio centers on rapid-response and contingency-based contracting for flood risk reduction, coastal restoration, and hydraulic engineering projects. He manages full lifecycle procurements—from solicitation through contract administration—for complex civil works systems, including dredging, levee construction, and erosion control infrastructure. His role ensures timely delivery of essential public works under dynamic operational conditions, aligning procurement actions with the Army Corps of Engineers’ strategic objectives for environmental and community protection. Lindsey maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 partnerships reflect a preference for specialized firms with proven expertise in heavy civil engineering, dredging operations, and coastal construction. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor readiness for high-risk, environmentally sensitive environments. He fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in regulatory adherence and operational flexibility. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Lindsey consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5 and one-third designated for HUBZone firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate regional economic resilience by engaging locally rooted, qualified small contractors with deep familiarity with Gulf Coast conditions. His procurement decisions reflect a commitment to equitable access and capacity building within the defense and civil works supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 331513 (Steel Foundries), and 561621 (Security Systems Services), indicating a technical emphasis on structural components, specialized fabrication, and site security for critical infrastructure. He routinely procures engineered materials, dredging equipment, and integrated security systems to support flood control projects, demonstrating domain expertise in both civil engineering and operational security for federal water resource initiatives.
