Cedric Roberts

Cedric Roberts serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Carson unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain the operational readiness of elite special operations forces, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). His work centers on securing specialized logistical, instructional, and infrastructure services tailored for austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude environments. He oversees contract vehicles that support mission-critical training exercises, field equipment deployment, and expeditionary support systems, ensuring alignment with Army Special Operations Command standards and joint operational requirements. His acquisitions are strategically designed to enable rapid deployment and sustained mission performance in remote, non-permissive terrains. Roberts maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of niche contractors, including TRONCONI SEGARRA & ASSOCIATES LLP, ALEUT FIELD SERVICES, LLC, and ROD’S ALASKAN BIG GAME & WILDERNESS GUIDE SERVICES LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in wilderness logistics, cold-weather operations, and specialized field instruction. His contracting approach prioritizes agility, domain-specific capability, and geographic adaptability, often engaging small, regionally embedded firms with unique operational experience in Arctic and mountainous environments. Roberts demonstrates a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently awards contracts to small businesses without preference for specific socioeconomic categories, emphasizing capability over certification type. This pattern underscores a mission-driven focus on leveraging agile, specialized vendors rather than institutionalized contracting hierarchies. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), reflecting a unique application of event and training coordination services to simulate real-world operational scenarios. The secondary focus on NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations) indicates support for morale, welfare, and chaplaincy services in deployed settings. His technical domain expertise centers on expeditionary training support, field survival instruction, and mission-specific logistical orchestration for special operations forces.
