While specific contractor names are not available, Arnett maintains a consistent engagement pattern with vendors capable of delivering landscaping and site preparation services across diverse geographic locations. He fosters collaborative relationships with both large service providers and small business contractors, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contract compliance. His approach prioritizes clear communication, timely contract modifications, and rigorous oversight to ensure deliverables meet operational standards. Arnett demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of his acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions.
