Ken Rosenthal

Ken Rosenthal serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, part of the Department of the Army’s Pacific region operations, where he manages mission-enabling acquisitions to sustain Army installations and ensure operational readiness. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and critical infrastructure support services, with a strong emphasis on telecommunications systems and energy resilience. Rosenthal oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and performance management—ensuring alignment with Army sustainability goals and regulatory requirements. He routinely handles complex service-based contracts under FAR Part 37 and hybrid acquisition strategies that integrate construction, operations, and technical support. Rosenthal maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of regional and national 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 vendors with proven expertise in military installation support, waste management, facility operations, and specialized construction services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local knowledge, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet mission-critical timelines and operational demands. Rosenthal’s acquisition strategy is uniformly focused on full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with 100% of his procurements reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting, ensuring equitable access for small, locally owned firms to support Army infrastructure needs across the Pacific. His pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a strategic alignment with DoD priorities to strengthen the small business industrial base and promote regional economic resilience. His technical procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 333316 (Industrial Machinery Manufacturing) and 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring specialized equipment for energy systems, environmental controls, and military-grade telecommunications infrastructure. Rosenthal’s work ensures installations are equipped with resilient, compliant, and mission-ready systems that support both daily operations and contingency readiness.
