Traci D. Robicheaux

Traci Robicheaux serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W076 Endist Galveston office, where she manages complex civil infrastructure procurements critical to national defense and water resource resilience. Her portfolio centers on large-scale heavy civil engineering projects, including dredging, channel stabilization, and coastal protection systems, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain navigable waterways and enhance infrastructure durability. She executes full and open competitions under FAR Part 15, frequently utilizing performance-based acquisition methods and design-build delivery models to ensure technical precision and schedule efficiency in high-stakes environmental engineering contracts. Robicheaux maintains enduring relationships with industry leaders in marine and heavy construction, including Orion Government Services LLC, Curtin Maritime Corp, The Dutra Group, Callan Marine Limited, and Russell Marine LLC. These contractors specialize in marine dredging, barge operations, and heavy equipment deployment for waterway projects, reflecting a preference for experienced, high-capacity firms with proven expertise in federal environmental and maritime construction. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with demonstrated safety records, technical capability, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions (76.2%), she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (20.9%), with minor allocations to 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business programs. Her socioeconomic strategy prioritizes broad small business access without compromising project complexity or mission-critical performance requirements. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in large earthmoving, marine structure installation, and hydraulic engineering projects. She also procures specialized services in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning for facility support, and limited ship and boat repair under NAICS 336611 and 336612, demonstrating a technical command of maritime construction domains.
