Samuel Noble

Samuel Noble serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services for military and federal installations. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction and maritime support contracts, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and federal construction standards. He specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements involving civil engineering, environmental remediation, and water transportation support, often coordinating with multiple stakeholders to deliver timely, compliant, and resilient infrastructure solutions across the Department of the Army’s operational footprint. Noble maintains enduring relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and CURTIN MARITIME CORP, reflecting a preference for experienced firms with proven track records in heavy civil and maritime operations. He also regularly engages specialized small businesses such as CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC and MATTHEWS GROUP INC, fostering partnerships that combine technical expertise with socioeconomic compliance. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous oversight, and long-term vendor reliability. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Noble consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of delivery. His procurement strategy integrates socioeconomic goals directly into technical requirements, ensuring that small business participation enhances, rather than compromises, mission effectiveness. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 488390 (Other Support Activities for Water Transportation), reflecting frequent procurements for dredging, port maintenance, and marine logistics support, complemented by NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) for land-based infrastructure projects. This dual specialization positions him as a subject matter expert in integrated civil works, blending maritime and terrestrial engineering needs to sustain Army infrastructure resilience.
