Andre Forte

Andre Forte serves as the primary contracting professional for Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure remediation services across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. His role is central to ensuring operational readiness by facilitating the timely delivery of environmental cleanup, hazardous material removal, and soil/water remediation projects that sustain base resilience and compliance with federal environmental standards. Forte manages a high-volume portfolio of construction-related environmental contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strict focus on technical execution, regulatory alignment, and performance-based outcomes. He maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of qualified contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based award cycles, reflecting a preference for contractors with proven expertise in complex environmental remediation, marine infrastructure decontamination, and site restoration. Forte’s contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with environmental safety protocols. Forte’s procurement strategy is uniformly dedicated to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside under FAR 19.5 for total small business competition. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small, locally based firms with specialized environmental remediation capabilities. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business vendors over large prime contractors, aligning with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals and federal small business mandates. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), where he procures specialized services including soil excavation and treatment, groundwater remediation, asbestos and lead abatement, and contaminated sediment management. Forte’s expertise lies in managing technically complex, high-regulatory-risk environmental projects that demand precise adherence to EPA and DoD standards, ensuring that infrastructure modernization proceeds safely and sustainably.
