Alan Rumney

Alan Rumney serves as a Contracting Officer within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior, where he manages the acquisition of professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. His portfolio focuses on securing specialized expertise in real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and systems design to support the integrity of public landholdings and infrastructure. Rumney routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts for high-skill technical services, ensuring alignment with agency mission objectives and federal acquisition regulations. He plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into competitively awarded procurements that deliver mission-critical capabilities across the Department’s vast land management footprint. Rumney maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized service providers, including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Mathemtica Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., and HMC Helicopter Service LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche, high-precision service providers with proven capabilities in aviation support, data analytics, and systems engineering. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance accountability, and technical rigor, often resulting in repeat engagements with contractors who demonstrate reliability in delivering complex, mission-sensitive services under demanding operational conditions. Rumney’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission effectiveness and operational readiness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary driver of his award decisions, his process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition policy and transparently competitive. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on data-driven decision support, geospatial systems, and analytical platforms that underpin land management and resource assessment. He procures advanced technical services including algorithm development, modeling and simulation, and real-time data integration—capabilities essential to modernizing federal land stewardship operations.
