William A Bailey

William A. Bailey serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SD Endist Philadelphia office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting critical civil infrastructure and maritime engineering missions under the Department of Defense. He manages complex acquisitions for large-scale construction, dredging, and naval facility modernization projects essential to military readiness and coastal resilience. His portfolio primarily encompasses industrial building construction, shipyard modernization, and transportation infrastructure services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Bailey’s work directly enables the maintenance of navigable waterways, port security, and military installation sustainability across the Atlantic seaboard. He maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CONRAD SHIPYARD, L.L.C., HDR ARCHITECTURE, INC., BUCHART HORN INC, and NORFOLK DREDGING COMPANY. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven expertise in marine construction, environmental remediation, and naval vessel repair. Bailey consistently engages these vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance over cost alone. His contracting patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the scale and specialized nature of the work. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 22.2% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach to market access and mission necessity. Bailey’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), each representing one-third of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in 423860 and 423610 for specialized transportation equipment and electrical supply procurement. His technical domain expertise lies in marine infrastructure, harbor dredging, military port enhancements, and integrated engineering services critical to national defense logistics.
