He executes complex contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, focusing on design-build, construction management, and facility maintenance services essential to sustaining operational readiness. His portfolio primarily encompasses real estate services, including site development, environmental remediation, and infrastructure modernization, ensuring alignment with Army mission requirements and federal property standards. Piedmonte maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO., LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in civil engineering, marine construction, and institutional facility support. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure quality delivery and compliance with technical specifications. Piedmonte’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging broad market capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical competence, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally targeted, he remains compliant with all applicable small business reporting requirements and evaluates all offerors on merit. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 531390—Other Activities Related to Real Estate—encompassing land development, facility management, and infrastructure support services. He specializes in acquisitions involving site preparation, environmental restoration, and real property enhancement, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal real estate standards and military construction protocols.
