MAJ Douglas Dorward

Douglas Dorward serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the 0413 AQ HQ RCO-HI, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining military installations across the Pacific region. Though not the lead contracting officer, he supports the acquisition lifecycle for mission-enabling services critical to installation readiness, including facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and logistics support. His role involves coordinating contract actions, ensuring regulatory adherence, and facilitating interdepartmental alignment to meet operational requirements under the W912CN contract vehicle. He typically handles non-construction, service-based procurements aligned with installation sustainability and infrastructure resilience. Dorward 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. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering facility operations, waste management, and maintenance services tailored to Pacific theater conditions. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, local responsiveness, and long-term vendor stability, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. He exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, directing all eligible acquisitions toward small business concerns without distinction among 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories. This uniform preference underscores a strategic emphasis on economic inclusion and capacity building within the small business community, particularly firms with demonstrated capability in installation support services. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underserved vendors while maintaining high standards of service delivery. Despite the agency’s focus on infrastructure and logistics, Dorward’s procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 449110 (Furniture Retailers), indicating a possible misclassification or administrative categorization anomaly in the system. Regardless, the underlying acquisitions support furnishings, office equipment, and interior fit-outs essential to garrison operations—highlighting a technical domain expertise in non-mission-critical but operationally vital facility amenities.
