Nathan Bergert

Nathan Bergert serves as a key procurement professional within the W2SN Endist Alaska office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing civil engineering and infrastructure contracts critical to sustaining military operations in Alaska’s extreme environments. He oversees the acquisition of construction and environmental services essential to maintaining operational readiness, with a focus on resilient base infrastructure, long-term facility sustainment, and environmental compliance. His portfolio primarily includes complex construction and mechanical systems projects requiring specialized expertise in cold-weather engineering and regulatory adherence, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal environmental mandates. Bergert maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., Shannon & Wilson Inc., R&M Consultants, Inc., Unit Company, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven track records in remote-site construction, geotechnical analysis, and hazardous material remediation. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competence, past performance, and capacity to operate in austere conditions, fostering long-term vendor collaborations built on reliability and regulatory expertise. His contracting patterns reveal an even split between open competitions and 8(a) set-asides, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both broad market access and socioeconomic opportunity. He actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate small business capacity in specialized construction and environmental services, ensuring diverse participation while maintaining mission-critical standards. This dual focus supports the Army’s broader goals of inclusive contracting and workforce development in underserved markets. Bergert’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting his specialization in facility construction and mechanical systems integration for defense installations. He procures services involving structural foundations, HVAC systems, utilities infrastructure, and environmental remediation—all tailored to the unique challenges of Arctic and sub-Arctic operational environments. His technical domain expertise centers on cold-climate construction methodologies and compliance with DoD environmental regulations.
