Ryan Jackson

Ryan Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within W072 Endist Detroit, operating under the Department of the Army, where he manages complex civil engineering and infrastructure support contracts critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. His role centers on acquiring large-scale construction and maintenance services for waterways, harbors, breakwaters, and dredging systems, ensuring operational readiness of vital inland navigation infrastructure. He oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from solicitation and source selection to contract administration—focusing on heavy civil works projects that align with the Army Corps of Engineers’ mission to sustain and modernize federal water resources. His portfolio is characterized by high-complexity, mission-critical procurements requiring technical expertise in hydraulic engineering, environmental compliance, and long-term facility sustainment. Jackson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in heavy civil construction and environmental services, including KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., and GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in marine infrastructure, dredging, and structural maintenance. He also collaborates with STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC for integrated support services, indicating a pattern of bundling construction with operational and security-related subcontracting to streamline project delivery and enhance site readiness. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with half of all awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 10% allocated to HUBZone firms. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity within underserved communities while ensuring access to specialized local expertise. Set-asides are strategically applied to projects where small businesses can deliver technical competence without compromising scale or mission timelines. The agency’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing large-scale earthmoving, marine structures, and waterway rehabilitation. Complementary acquisitions in solid waste collection (562111) and janitorial services (561720) support facility sustainment, while commercial machinery repair (811310) ensures operational continuity of critical equipment. Jackson’s expertise lies in integrating these domains into cohesive, mission-driven procurement packages that balance technical rigor with socioeconomic compliance.
