Dawit T. Gebreyesus

Dawit T. Gebreyesus serves as a Contracting Specialist within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain Army installations across the Pacific region. His work supports critical infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and operational readiness through the procurement of facility maintenance, logistics, and support services. Dawit specializes in full and open competitions and small business set-asides, ensuring compliance with FAR Part 19 and agency-specific acquisition policies while aligning procurements with strategic priorities in energy, communications, and installation sustainability. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., reflecting a preference for established regional vendors with proven capabilities in construction, waste management, and facility operations. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing reliability and mission-critical service delivery in geographically isolated environments. While the majority of his acquisitions (85.7%) are conducted as full and open competitions, Dawit actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (14.3%), demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the Pacific contracting ecosystem without compromising mission requirements. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad-based small business inclusion under FAR 19.5. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 339920 (sporting and athletic goods manufacturing), 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing), 532111 (passenger car rental), and 323111 (commercial printing), indicating a unique blend of logistical, administrative, and niche manufacturing support needs. This reflects a specialized domain expertise in procuring non-standard, installation-specific equipment and services that support both daily operations and contingency readiness across remote Pacific bases.
