Taylor B Mclain

Taylor B. McLain serves as a key procurement professional within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing contract execution for environmental and infrastructure support services across federal recreation and water resource sites in Arkansas. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, McLain ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain public access to lakes, reservoirs, and associated facilities. Their work primarily involves soliciting and awarding contracts for landscaping, janitorial, waste management, and light construction services under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on operational continuity and environmental stewardship. McLain maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in federal environmental and facilities support operations. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and contractor reliability in remote and high-traffic recreation areas. A pronounced commitment to small business participation defines McLain’s procurement strategy, with 87.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Additional set-asides target service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate alignment with socioeconomic goals. This pattern underscores a strategic effort to cultivate a diverse vendor base capable of delivering mission-critical services across Arkansas’s public lands. The primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting deep expertise in managing outdoor maintenance, facility operations, and sanitation for federal recreation sites. McLain’s domain knowledge extends to integrated environmental compliance, seasonal service scaling, and light construction support for campgrounds and public access infrastructure.
