Antwinette L. Goodman-Cooper

Antwinette L. Goodman-Cooper serves as Assistant Associate Director for the South Atlantic Division under W074 Endist Charleston, a critical component of the Department of the Army’s civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment mission. In this leadership role, she oversees the planning, solicitation, and execution of procurement actions for military facility modernization, environmental remediation, and coastal infrastructure projects across the southeastern United States. Her portfolio primarily includes complex, mission-critical contracts for environmental cleanup, hazardous material abatement, and engineered site restoration, ensuring operational readiness through resilient and compliant infrastructure. She directs the acquisition lifecycle from requirements definition through contract award and performance management, coordinating closely with engineers, environmental specialists, and field units to align contracting outcomes with strategic Army readiness goals. Goodman-Cooper maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC., BRYMAK & ASSOCIATES, INC., CHANDLER CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC., SOUTHERN DREDGING CO INC, and COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION. These firms are recognized for their technical expertise in environmental remediation, hazardous waste handling, and civil works construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and sustained vendor collaboration to ensure compliance with federal environmental standards and Army engineering specifications. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated through set-asides, she evaluates all offers based on technical merit, past performance, and capacity to deliver complex remediation services at scale. Goodman-Cooper’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), underscoring her deep specialization in environmental cleanup, soil and groundwater remediation, asbestos and lead abatement, and contaminated site restoration. Her expertise lies in managing technically demanding contracts requiring compliance with RCRA, CERCLA, and Army environmental regulations, ensuring that infrastructure projects meet both operational and ecological standards.
