Charles Zammit

Charles Zammit serves as a key procurement lead within the W07V Endist New Orleans office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the acquisition of large-scale civil works projects critical to Gulf Coast resilience. Responsible for managing complex engineering contracts under the Department of the Army, Zammit specializes in the planning, solicitation, and award of heavy civil infrastructure initiatives focused on flood risk reduction, coastal restoration, and hydraulic system maintenance. His portfolio centers on design-build and construction-phase procurements that align with federal water resource policies and environmental compliance standards, ensuring mission-critical infrastructure meets stringent engineering and regulatory requirements. Zammit maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including WEEKS MARINE, INC., PRECISION CONSTRUCTION LLC, M.R. PITTMAN GROUP, L.L.C., MUDDY WATER DREDGING, LP, and RED BISON SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in dredging, coastal engineering, and heavy civil construction, particularly those experienced in navigating challenging aquatic environments and permitting frameworks. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability in high-risk, high-visibility projects along Louisiana’s vulnerable waterways. Zammit’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the remaining 60% remain open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising project complexity or schedule integrity, particularly in areas requiring specialized marine and earthmoving capabilities. The agency’s procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting a singular focus on large-scale civil infrastructure. Zammit’s acquisitions consistently involve hydraulic structures, levee reinforcement, sediment management, and erosion control systems, requiring deep technical expertise in geotechnical engineering, hydrologic modeling, and environmental mitigation strategies. His work directly supports the Army’s civil works mission to protect communities through durable, resilient infrastructure.
