Paul Gaeth

Paul Gaeth serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the W074 Endist Savannah office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure and environmental compliance systems. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for civil engineering, facility renovation, and environmental remediation projects. His work ensures alignment with Army installation readiness goals, particularly in the areas of utility upgrades, building rehabilitation, and regulatory compliance. He typically handles complex, multi-year procurements requiring technical expertise in construction, environmental services, and facility support systems. Gaeth maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of joint venture contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JV, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, and GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, which frequently collaborate on large-scale infrastructure projects. He also engages specialized firms such as SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC. and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. for niche environmental and testing services. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for collaborative, team-based vendor partnerships, often structured as joint ventures to meet the technical and capacity demands of Army-wide infrastructure modernization. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 88.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. Set-asides are routinely applied to construction, environmental, and facilities support contracts to maximize small business engagement. Gaeth’s technical focus centers on NAICS 212321 (construction sand and gravel mining), 562119 (other waste collection), 541380 (testing laboratories), 561210 (facilities support services), and 561710 (pest control). These reflect a specialized procurement domain in environmental remediation, site preparation, hazardous material management, and installation-wide operational support services essential to Army infrastructure resilience.
