Wayne Hiatt

Wayne Hiatt serves as a key procurement professional within the W074 Endist Charleston office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility construction services critical to Army readiness across the southeastern United States. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on the construction, renovation, and maintenance of military infrastructure—including barracks, command centers, child development centers, and coastal defense structures—ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and operational resilience requirements. His role is central to executing the agency’s mission of sustaining and modernizing essential installations through timely, compliant, and mission-aligned contracting actions. Hiatt maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC., BRYMAK & ASSOCIATES, INC., CHANDLER CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC., SOUTHERN DREDGING CO INC, and COTTRELL CONTRACTING CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service construction and civil engineering firms with proven capabilities in complex military facility projects. His contracting approach emphasizes performance history, technical proficiency, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers specifications, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Hiatt’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a strategic focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests an emphasis on selecting the most qualified contractors based on technical merit and past performance, prioritizing mission-critical delivery timelines and infrastructure resilience over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of large-scale, mission-critical facility construction projects. He routinely manages contracts involving structural systems, utilities integration, site development, and compliance with DoD environmental and safety standards, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military construction protocols and federal construction procurement regulations.
