Tracy Tenholder

Tracy Tenholder serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist St. Louis office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical civil works and military infrastructure missions under Department of the Army authority. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Tenholder oversees contracts for engineering services, construction, and geospatial solutions essential to water resource management, navigation system maintenance, and environmental restoration. Their portfolio primarily includes high-stakes, mission-critical projects requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance, with a focus on long-term infrastructure resilience and sustainable land management. Tenholder’s work directly enables the agency’s mandate to modernize aging civil works systems while ensuring environmental stewardship and operational readiness. Tenholder maintains established relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including FUGRO USA LAND, INC., BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP LTD, AERO-GRAPHICS INC, NV5 GEOSPATIAL, INC., and SURVEYING AND MAPPING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in geospatial surveying, civil engineering design, and infrastructure assessment. The working relationships are characterized by sustained engagement across multiple contract vehicles, indicating trust in technical capability and performance reliability. These vendors are frequently selected for their ability to deliver high-accuracy data collection, hydrographic modeling, and structural evaluation services under demanding field conditions. Tenholder’s contracting patterns reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 76.4% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, a meaningful commitment to small business participation is evident, with 16.7% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and additional support for women-owned and HUBZone firms. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while maintaining rigorous technical standards. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and related construction specialties. Tenholder routinely procures services involving surveying, geospatial analysis, structural rehabilitation, and utility infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with civil works and environmental engineering domains.
