MAJ Renato "Ray" Dapat

Renato Dapat serves as a key procurement lead within the 0906 Aq Co Contracting Bat, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize overseas military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and utility-related acquisitions, focusing on facility construction, barracks modernization, and critical infrastructure upgrades essential to operational readiness in high-priority theaters. His work ensures timely delivery of resilient, modular structures and mission-critical utility systems through competitive contracting processes aligned with DoD standards. Dapat’s acquisitions are primarily performance-based, emphasizing lifecycle cost efficiency and rapid deployment capabilities for expeditionary environments. Dapat maintains a concentrated contracting relationship with PYUNGTAEK ENVIRONMENT CO., LTD, which consistently delivers facility maintenance, environmental systems, and infrastructure support services across overseas installations. His contracting approach favors established contractors with proven experience in military-grade construction and overseas logistics, resulting in a limited but highly reliable vendor base. While he engages with a small pool of specialized subcontractors, his pattern reflects a preference for repeat performers with demonstrated technical competency in austere environments, minimizing reprocurement risk and ensuring continuity of operations. Dapat’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on mission-critical timelines and technical capability over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing performance and readiness over socioeconomic classifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small businesses are not formally excluded, their participation is minimal, reflecting the specialized nature of the work and the dominance of contractors with existing overseas operational experience. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), encompassing HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural retrofitting. He also frequently procures roofing systems (238160), landscaping for perimeter security (561730), and environmental control equipment (334512). This technical domain requires deep familiarity with military construction standards, expeditionary utility systems, and compliance with UFC and AR 420-1 regulations.
