Arnold Smollik

Arnold Smollik serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver and sustain mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. He specializes in managing complex construction and industrial facility contracts, with a focus on heavy-gauge metal tank manufacturing under NAICS 332420. His acquisitions directly enable the modernization of water storage, fuel containment, and utility systems essential to operational readiness, ensuring compliance with defense infrastructure standards and environmental resilience requirements. Smollik’s work is integral to sustaining combat-ready bases through long-term facility lifecycle management. He maintains consistent working 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 reflect a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure, and industrial systems integration. Smollik fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting environments that emphasize safety, schedule adherence, and technical precision in high-stakes environments. Smollik’s procurement strategy is defined by a 100% total small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All eligible acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for qualified firms regardless of size. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate a resilient small business industrial base capable of meeting the Navy’s specialized infrastructure needs. His technical focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 332420, which encompasses the fabrication and installation of heavy-gauge metal tanks used for potable water, wastewater, fuel, and chemical storage. This specialization requires deep domain knowledge in corrosion-resistant materials, pressure vessel standards, and compliance with military specifications such as MIL-STD and EPA guidelines, positioning Smollik as a subject matter expert in defense-critical utility systems procurement.
