Cedric D. Rahming

Cedric D. Rahming serves as a Contract Specialist within the W074 Endist Mobile organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies to support critical military infrastructure resilience and operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for large-scale construction, engineering, and environmental services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned delivery of civil works projects. His portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil engineering, commercial and institutional building construction, and integrated environmental remediation contracts, requiring deep technical oversight and risk mitigation expertise in federally funded defense infrastructure programs. Rahming maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including ARELI, INC., THE ROBINS & MORTON GROUP, J & J MAINTENANCE INC, ROYCE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and VALIANT CONSTRUCTION LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in military-grade construction and heavy civil works, often engaged through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor accountability, and long-term contract administration to ensure mission-critical facility sustainment. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Rahming demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 22% of his awards structured as small business set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster diversity in the defense industrial base while maintaining high standards for technical capability and past performance. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with supplementary activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for project management and digital infrastructure support. This technical alignment reflects his expertise in managing multidisciplinary contracts that integrate structural, environmental, and IT-enabled systems to modernize defense installations.
