Rey V. Custodio

Rey V. Custodio serves as a key procurement professional within the W072 Endist Louisville under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing construction and civil engineering acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across the continental United States. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through the construction, repair, and resilience upgrades of barracks, training facilities, utilities, and related civil works systems. Custodio typically handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on project-based construction and infrastructure rehabilitation procurements requiring rigorous technical oversight and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers standards. He maintains established working relationships with leading construction firms including Thalle-Bauer LLC, HARPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, J. E. DUNN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, and BL HARBERT INTERNATIONAL LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced contractors with proven track records in military construction environments. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, ensuring accountability and quality in complex, mission-critical projects. Custodio demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 44% of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and a notable 4.2% allocated to HUBZone firms. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business inclusion as a strategic component of workforce development and local economic impact. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for half of all awards, followed by roofing (238160) and remediation services (562910). He specializes in integrated construction projects requiring coordination of structural, mechanical, and environmental systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in military facility modernization and infrastructure resilience.
