Chad Arnett

Chad A. Arnett serves as a secondary contracting professional within the W074 Endist Savannah office under the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure and environmental compliance systems. He plays a key role in executing acquisitions for civil engineering, facility renovation, and environmental remediation projects essential to Army operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing the procurement lifecycle for complex construction and remediation contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven priorities such as infrastructure resilience and environmental stewardship. Arnett maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, and GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, among others. These partnerships are typically structured as joint ventures or established small business entities with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and environmental services. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with firms possessing specialized technical capabilities in remediation, institutional building construction, and environmental consulting, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance and regulatory compliance. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly half of awards issued under total small business set-asides and 8(a) competed contracts, while HUBZone participation remains modest. This demonstrates a strategic emphasis on empowering small and disadvantaged businesses, particularly those certified under the 8(a) program, to deliver mission-critical services across Army installations. Arnett’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), followed by 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction). He routinely oversees contracts for hazardous material abatement, utility system upgrades, and infrastructure rehabilitation, requiring deep technical knowledge in environmental engineering, construction management, and federal environmental compliance standards.
