Sheila W. Enclade

Sheila W. Enclade serves as a Contracting Officer for the W07V Endist New Orleans under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the acquisition of large-scale civil infrastructure projects critical to flood risk reduction and coastal resilience across the Gulf Coast. Her portfolio centers on complex heavy and civil engineering contracts involving hydraulic structures, dredging, levee construction, and water resource management systems. She plays a pivotal role in translating mission-critical engineering requirements into legally compliant, performance-based solicitations that ensure timely delivery of public works vital to regional safety and environmental sustainability. Enclade maintains long-standing 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 frequently selected for their proven expertise in marine construction, sediment management, and heavy civil works. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, past performance evaluation, and risk mitigation, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of executing high-complexity projects in challenging coastal environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for one-third of her awards and 8(a) competed contracts representing nearly one-sixth. While half of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with demonstrated capability in civil engineering and environmental construction, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to promote equitable access to federal contracting. Enclade’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing dam and levee systems, channel stabilization, and coastal restoration. She also procures specialized monitoring and control devices under NAICS 334519, reflecting her technical oversight of instrumentation for hydrologic and hydraulic systems. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of civil engineering, environmental compliance, and federal construction procurement, ensuring that every acquisition advances the mission of protecting vulnerable Louisiana communities from flooding and erosion.
