Richard Osborne

Richard Osborne serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N7 USPFO Activity WV ARNG, supporting the West Virginia Army National Guard’s mission to sustain operational readiness through life support and infrastructure services. He manages a portfolio of construction and specialty trade contracts critical to maintaining training facilities, lodging, and mission-critical infrastructure. His acquisitions focus on enabling force readiness by ensuring reliable facilities and services for personnel during mobilization, exercises, and community events, aligning closely with Army National Guard sustainment priorities. Osborne maintains a consistent working relationship with Eagleview Dirtworks LLC, a primary contractor for earthwork and site development services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, locally engaged vendors with proven capacity in civil works and specialty trades, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships that ensure timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure. He prioritizes vendors with demonstrated expertise in rapid-response construction and maintenance under operational constraints. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 75% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, locally based firms, particularly those qualified under socioeconomic programs. The remaining 25% of acquisitions are open competition, typically reserved for specialized capabilities not available within the small business base. Osborne’s primary technical focus lies in highway, street, and bridge construction (NAICS 237310), accounting for half of his portfolio, followed by electrical contracting (238210) and other specialty trade work (238990). He routinely procures services involving site grading, drainage systems, power distribution, and facility upgrades essential to military readiness. His domain expertise centers on mission-support infrastructure that must meet stringent DoD standards for durability, safety, and rapid deployment under variable environmental conditions.
