Althea Ruldolph

Althea R. Rudolph serves as a Contracting Officer at the U.S. Army Engineering Support Center in Huntsville, under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical engineering, environmental, and facilities support services. Her role is central to sustaining Army readiness by ensuring timely and compliant procurement of technical solutions that maintain and modernize military infrastructure across domestic and overseas installations. She oversees a diverse portfolio of contract actions, including design-build, professional services, and remediation contracts, all aligned with the Army’s strategic priorities in infrastructure resilience and operational sustainability. Ms. Rudolph maintains strong, ongoing relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in environmental remediation, facility operations, and engineering design, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., Hydrogeologic, Inc., Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., and MSL Housekeeping Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in complex, regulated environments, and she consistently engages firms capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple disciplines—from energy management to hazardous material abatement. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 75% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 25% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she actively promotes small business inclusion through teaming arrangements and subcontracting opportunities within larger contracts, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Her primary NAICS focus areas—Architectural Services (541310), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Facilities Support Services (561210), and Remediation Services (562910)—reflect her deep expertise in lifecycle facility management. She routinely procures design, construction, maintenance, and environmental cleanup services essential to sustaining Army installations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal construction codes, environmental regulations, and integrated service delivery models.
