Justin Bennett

Justin K. Bennett serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical military infrastructure projects across the continental United States. Responsible for managing construction, remediation, and civil engineering contracts, he ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize defense installations—including barracks, training facilities, utilities, and energy systems. His acquisitions focus on delivering resilient, mission-ready infrastructure through competitive contracting processes that prioritize operational readiness and long-term lifecycle performance. Bennett maintains consistent working relationships with established prime contractors such as Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J.E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving site development, facility construction, and environmental remediation. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and robust contract administration to ensure compliance with military construction standards and safety protocols. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 30% of awards set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and notable support for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses at 3.4%. While the majority of contracts remain open competition, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster diversity in the defense industrial base and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. Bennett’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over one-third of his portfolio, followed by remediation services (562910) and engineering services (541330). He regularly procures turnkey construction, hazardous material abatement, site grading, and infrastructure modernization services, demonstrating deep expertise in military construction standards, environmental compliance, and integrated project delivery models.
