Benjamin J. Aldrich

Benjamin J. Aldrich serves as a key procurement professional within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction and facility support contracts critical to sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. He oversees the acquisition of services and construction projects aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize barracks, maintain institutional facilities, and ensure environmental compliance. His portfolio primarily involves complex, multi-year contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build, repair, and maintenance services that support operational readiness and installation resilience. Aldrich maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc, and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of which have demonstrated capacity in delivering large-scale institutional and civil works projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in military facility operations, timely execution, and adherence to stringent DoD standards. He engages with vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing performance history and compliance with safety and sustainability requirements. His contracting patterns reveal a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with nearly 29% of awards designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides and an additional 14.3% allocated to 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business, and Total Small Business Set-Asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden participation among qualified small and disadvantaged firms while maintaining high standards of delivery. He actively leverages FAR Part 19 programs to foster equitable access and enhance competition. Aldrich’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with supplemental acquisitions in engineering services and facility maintenance. His technical domain expertise lies in the integration of civil infrastructure, structural upgrades, and grounds management systems essential to Army installation readiness and long-term asset sustainability.
