Albert C Rumph

Albert C. Rumph serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist New York office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil and military engineering services critical to sustaining infrastructure readiness across the Northeastern United States. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering contracts, he ensures alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal acquisition regulations. His portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil engineering, facility modernization, and environmental systems projects, requiring precise technical oversight and compliance with national security and resilience objectives. Rumph plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into solicitations that deliver mission-critical infrastructure outcomes. Rumph maintains enduring relationships with a core group of established contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, structural engineering, and facility maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, often leveraging joint ventures and experienced small businesses to deliver technically complex projects under tight operational timelines. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad competition, with approximately 65% of awards issued as open competitions. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating over 31% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with additional targeted awards to service-disabled veteran-owned and 8(a) certified firms. This balanced approach ensures equitable access while maintaining high standards of technical capability and delivery. Rumph’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting his leadership in transportation, flood control, and navigation infrastructure projects. He also regularly procures commercial and institutional construction (236220), engineering services (541330), and testing laboratory services (541380), demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure lifecycle management, geotechnical evaluation, and environmental compliance. His domain knowledge spans structural integrity, utility systems, and resilient design, ensuring Army installations remain operationally viable under evolving threat and climate conditions.
