William (Bill) Bondurant

William (Bill) Bondurant serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ W076 Endist Galveston office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex civil infrastructure procurements under the Department of the Army. He specializes in high-stakes, heavy civil engineering contracts critical to national defense readiness and water resource management, including dredging, channel stabilization, coastal resilience, and large-scale earthwork projects. His procurement activities support mission-critical infrastructure development across the nation’s waterways, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications for heavy construction. Bondurant routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 36, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk mitigation for long-duration, multi-year projects. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced maritime and heavy civil contractors, including Orion Government Services LLC, Curtin Maritime Corp, The Dutra Group, Callan Marine Limited, and Russell Marine LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in marine construction, dredging operations, and large-scale earthmoving systems. Bondurant’s contracting approach emphasizes contractor performance history, technical capability, and past performance in similar environments, fostering long-term, trust-based vendor relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Bondurant’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 87.5% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and scale of the work. Small business participation is modest but intentional, with 9.4% allocated to total small business set-asides and 3.1% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His approach aligns with agency priorities to maximize competition while ensuring only technically qualified firms are selected for mission-critical infrastructure. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for nearly 80% of his portfolio, encompassing dredging, bulkhead construction, and channel improvement. He also procures supporting services in surveying and mapping (541370) and site preparation (238910), demonstrating deep technical familiarity with geotechnical and hydrographic requirements essential to civil works projects.
