Domenic Sestito

Domenic Sestito serves as a key procurement specialist within the W2SD Endist Philadelphia office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain critical civil infrastructure and maritime engineering capabilities. Though holding no formal title, his secondary role is integral to the agency’s acquisition strategy, overseeing the planning, solicitation, and award of engineering and environmental services essential to coastal resilience, navigation channel maintenance, and military installation infrastructure. He primarily manages complex, technically demanding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on professional services requiring specialized engineering expertise and environmental compliance. Sestito maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., Conrad Shipyard, L.L.C., HDR Architecture, Inc., Buchart Horn Inc., and Norfolk Dredging Company. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with firms possessing proven experience in marine construction, dredging operations, environmental remediation, and civil engineering design. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and regulatory adherence, fostering stable collaborations with contractors capable of executing large-scale, mission-critical projects under stringent federal standards. Sestito demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to high-value engineering and environmental service contracts without reliance on large business prime contractors. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic inclusion, aligning with Army and DoD mandates to strengthen the small business industrial base. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541380—Testing Laboratories and Services—encompassing environmental sampling, geotechnical analysis, water quality monitoring, and compliance testing for dredged material and contaminated sediments. This specialization underscores his technical expertise in environmental engineering services critical to maintaining navigable waterways and protecting ecological systems supporting national defense infrastructure.
