Daniel Helmig

Dan Helmig serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil engineering and environmental infrastructure contracts critical to Army installation readiness. He oversees the acquisition of construction, testing, and environmental remediation services aligned with the Army’s mission to modernize aging facilities and ensure regulatory compliance. His portfolio primarily involves design-build, construction management, and professional services contracts requiring technical expertise in building systems, utility upgrades, and environmental stewardship, often delivered through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 36. Helmig maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, and GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms with proven capacity in commercial and institutional construction and environmental testing. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, Helmig maintains a deliberate 15% set-aside preference for total small business contracts under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His procurement strategy prioritizes capability and capacity over socioeconomic categorization, while still ensuring robust small business engagement. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), reflecting deep expertise in facility renovation, structural integrity assessments, and environmental sampling. He frequently procures services related to building envelope systems, HVAC modernization, soil and water testing, and environmental consulting, underscoring a technical domain grounded in civil engineering and regulatory compliance.
