Rex Amicone

Rex Amicone serves as a Contract Specialist at the Denver Federal Center under the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and technical services supporting federal water resource management. His portfolio centers on heavy civil engineering, environmental monitoring systems, and operational support contracts essential to maintaining hydraulic structures, hydrologic data networks, and ecosystem restoration initiatives across the western U.S. He ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to modernize water infrastructure through technically rigorous and environmentally sound solutions. Amicone maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Frontier Precision Inc., BenchLab LLC, and Royal Media Network, Inc., who provide specialized services in environmental data collection, precision instrumentation, and technical communications. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, performance reliability, and regulatory compliance, particularly for complex engineering and environmental consulting tasks requiring specialized certifications and field capabilities. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted without set-asides, Amicone demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, with approximately 8.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 1.7% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while actively supporting qualified small business vendors capable of delivering high-stakes technical services. His primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Other Computer Related Services (541519), reflecting a strong emphasis on data acquisition systems, environmental modeling software, and digital instrumentation. He also frequently procures specialized measuring and control devices under NAICS 334519, underscoring his technical expertise in hydrologic sensor networks and automated monitoring platforms critical to the Bureau’s operational mission.
