Ben Hoell

Ben Hoell serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist New England office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure support contracts essential to sustaining Army installations across New England. His role encompasses planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering complex acquisitions for facility modernization, utility upgrades, and environmental compliance projects. Hoell specializes in integrated construction services that ensure operational readiness, with a focus on civil works, electrical systems, and heavy engineering tasks aligned with the Army’s resilience and sustainability goals. He works closely with project engineers and environmental specialists to align contracting strategies with mission-critical infrastructure needs. Hoell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including AGATE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., AGM MARINE CONTRACTORS INC, EDWARD PAIGE CORPORATION, ENVIROLOGICS INC, and JP SOLUTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, environmental remediation, and specialized trade services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term contractor reliability, often re-engaging vendors with demonstrated success in delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent DoD standards. His contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity among qualified small contractors. While no set-aside preferences dominate, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, avoiding large business sole-source awards unless justified under exceptional circumstances. Hoell’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting his specialization in mission-critical infrastructure systems. He routinely manages acquisitions for building construction, water control structures, transportation utilities, and integrated facility services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military construction standards and environmental compliance requirements.
