Lauri N. Paggi

Lauri N. Paggi serves as a Contracting Officer for the W074 Endist Savannah under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition and management of critical civil engineering and environmental infrastructure projects. Her role is central to sustaining and modernizing Army installations, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards while delivering mission-critical facilities and utility systems. She specializes in complex, multi-year construction contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight, performance-based specifications, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers guidelines, frequently managing projects involving site remediation, building renovation, and utility system upgrades. Paggi maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced joint ventures and specialty contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, and GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, all of which demonstrate proven capacity in heavy civil construction and environmental remediation. She also regularly engages SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC. and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. for specialized engineering and planning services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on technical reliability, past performance, and compliance with federal construction standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Paggi prioritizes HUBZone set-asides in two-thirds of her acquisitions, reflecting a deliberate strategy to channel opportunities to economically disadvantaged rural communities. Her consistent use of HUBZone designations underscores a commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals while maintaining high standards for technical performance and project delivery. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), where she oversees large-scale infrastructure projects such as roadways, drainage systems, and military facility foundations. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), ensuring that building systems meet operational readiness and energy efficiency benchmarks. Paggi’s expertise lies at the intersection of civil engineering, environmental compliance, and federal construction procurement.
