He maintains established working relationships with leading contractors including AECOM International Inc., CMS Corporation, WSP Italia S.R.L., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., all of whom deliver high-capacity engineering, site preparation, and building construction services. These partnerships are characterized by consistent performance, technical proficiency in European regulatory environments, and proven experience in austere or theater-based operational settings. Du Bois prioritizes contractors with demonstrated expertise in military infrastructure standards and rapid deployment capabilities, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and compliance. Du Bois’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While small business participation is not formally targeted through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach emphasizes competitive fairness and technical merit, ensuring that all qualified vendors—regardless of size—have equitable access to opportunities based on capability and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238910 (Site Preparation), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction).
