Brett Zeigler

Derrick Zeigler serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah office of the U.S. Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure and environmental compliance systems. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and remediation contracts aligned with civil engineering priorities, overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction, water and sewer systems, and environmental remediation services. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring Army installations maintain safe, functional, and compliant facilities through timely and compliant contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Zeigler maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of joint ventures and specialty contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, and GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, which frequently compete for complex, multi-disciplinary construction projects. He also engages established firms such as SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC. and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. for specialized environmental and civil engineering services. His procurement approach favors collaborative, team-based contracting models that leverage joint venture capabilities to deliver large-scale infrastructure upgrades under stringent military standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Zeigler consistently prioritizes set-asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately half of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses overall. He actively utilizes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote economic inclusion and regional workforce development. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical performance. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in remediation services (562910) and water/sewer infrastructure (237110). Zeigler’s expertise centers on procuring turnkey construction, utility upgrades, and environmental restoration services essential to Army installation resilience and regulatory compliance.
