Charles Durocher

Charles Durocher serves as an Architect-Engineer responsible for overseeing technical specifications, design standards, and procurement strategies for infrastructure and facility-related acquisitions within the Postal Service. In this role, he bridges engineering requirements with acquisition execution, ensuring that all procurements align with federal building codes, operational efficiency goals, and lifecycle sustainability standards. He typically manages complex, performance-based contracts for construction, renovation, and facility modernization projects, coordinating closely with design teams, project managers, and field engineers to define scope, evaluate technical proposals, and ensure compliance with federal construction regulations. Durocher’s contractor relationships are centered on firms with proven expertise in postal facility design, civil engineering, and federal construction delivery. He engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large architectural and engineering firms, specialty contractors for postal-specific infrastructure, and firms certified under federal construction programs. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for qualified, experienced contractors capable of delivering turnkey solutions under strict operational timelines and security protocols. Durocher’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% focus on open, non-set-aside procurements, indicating a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach prioritizes technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the Postal Service’s operational mandates and large-scale infrastructure needs. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 491110 (Postal Service), which encompasses facility construction, mail processing center upgrades, security system integration, and utility infrastructure for postal operations. He specializes in procurements involving building automation systems, energy-efficient HVAC, ADA-compliant design, and secure logistics infrastructure. His technical domain expertise lies in federal facility standards, USPS-specific operational requirements, and the integration of modern engineering solutions into legacy postal networks.
