Alan Rumney

Alan Rumney serves as a Contracting Officer within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where he manages the acquisition of specialized professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. His portfolio centers on procuring expert support for real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and systems design, ensuring the integrity and modernization of public trust assets. Rumney exercises full contracting authority under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, overseeing competitive solicitations, contract modifications, and performance evaluations for mission-critical services that sustain DOI’s operational infrastructure. He maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Mathemtica Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., and HMC Helicopter Service LLC, reflecting a consistent reliance on niche providers with specialized capabilities in aviation support, data infrastructure, and technical analysis. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors possessing proven domain expertise in federal land management environments, often requiring security clearances, remote operational experience, and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards. Rumney exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately half of his acquisitions designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions without set-aside restrictions. This approach ensures robust competition while actively advancing veteran-owned business participation in high-skill federal contracting, aligning with DOI’s broader goals for equitable access and workforce inclusion. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210 (computing infrastructure and data processing services) and NAICS 561210 (facilities support services), reflecting a strong demand for secure data systems, geospatial analysis platforms, and operational support for remote field operations. He routinely procures cloud-based data hosting, real-time asset tracking, and mission-critical facility management services that underpin the agency’s scientific and logistical missions across vast federal landholdings.
