Richard T. Dybdahl

Richard T. Dybdahl serves as a key procurement lead within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, overseeing the acquisition of facilities support services critical to the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. In this role, he ensures operational readiness by securing essential infrastructure and logistical support for munitions production, storage, and demilitarization sites across the Army’s enterprise. His procurement activities are tightly aligned with the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain combat-effective warfighting capabilities, with a focus on maintaining secure, compliant, and resilient supply chain infrastructure. Dybdahl typically manages task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under FAR Part 16, prioritizing performance-based service delivery models. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Dybdahl consistently engages a diverse ecosystem of service providers specializing in facility operations, maintenance, security, and environmental compliance at munitions facilities. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with vendors capable of supporting complex DoD infrastructure requirements, including hazardous materials handling, range maintenance, and explosive storage facility management. He fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate robust quality assurance systems and compliance with DoD 5000.81 and Army Regulation 700-147. Dybdahl exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, directing all eligible acquisitions to small businesses without regard to specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This uniform approach underscores a strategic emphasis on broad-based small business participation, maximizing competition and fostering innovation among qualified service providers. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to build capacity within the small business community to meet the unique demands of munitions infrastructure support. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing custodial, groundskeeping, utilities management, waste disposal, and facility maintenance for high-security munitions sites. Dybdahl’s expertise centers on procuring mission-critical services that ensure the safe, secure, and uninterrupted operation of ammunition production and storage infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with DoD safety standards, environmental regulations, and defense logistics protocols.
