Richard G Himebrook

Richard G. Himebrook serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army’s W2V6 Engineering Support Center in Huntsville, supporting mission-critical engineering and technical services for Army installations nationwide. He manages acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mandate to sustain military readiness through infrastructure modernization, IT systems integration, and operational logistics support. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex engineering services, data infrastructure, and facility-enabling technologies, with a strong emphasis on IT systems design and computing hardware procurement. Himebrook ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with the Army’s strategic goals for resilience and technological advancement. He maintains established relationships with leading contractors including AMD International Technologies LLC, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., MSL Housekeeping Services LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Hydrogeologic, Inc., reflecting a balanced mix of technical, environmental, and facility support vendors. His contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in defense-grade computing systems, energy efficiency solutions, and environmental compliance services. These partnerships are typically sustained through multiple award vehicles and performance-based task orders, emphasizing reliability and technical excellence. Himebrook’s set-aside preferences show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, he consistently supports service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), accounting for 11.1% of awards, demonstrating a targeted commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) at 66.7%, followed by computer systems design (541512) and data infrastructure services (518210). This reflects deep expertise in procuring military-grade computing hardware, secure IT architectures, and mission-critical data services essential to modern Army operations. His work ensures that engineering support centers are equipped with hardened, interoperable technologies capable of sustaining operations in austere and high-threat environments.
