Richard Van De Linde

Richard Van De Linde serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Tulsa office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of environmental consulting and civil engineering services critical to the sustainment of military infrastructure. His role centers on ensuring regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, and facility operational readiness across Army installations, with a primary focus on delivering technical services that support long-term land management and ecological restoration. He manages complex contract actions under the NAICS 541620 category, coordinating with engineers, environmental scientists, and compliance specialists to meet mission-critical objectives tied to federal environmental statutes and Army installation standards. Van De Linde maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of qualified contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, Alberici Constructors Inc., MCMillen, Inc., Perikin Enterprises LLC, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These firms are routinely engaged for their demonstrated expertise in environmental site assessments, hazardous material remediation, and heavy civil construction supporting Army facilities. His procurement approach favors vendors with proven experience in federal environmental compliance and infrastructure lifecycle management, fostering long-term, performance-based relationships grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory adherence. A defining feature of his contracting strategy is the exclusive use of HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to economic development in historically underutilized business zones. All acquisitions are structured to prioritize HUBZone-certified small businesses, aligning with federal mandates to promote geographic equity and community-based economic resilience through federal contracting. His technical domain is narrowly focused on environmental consulting services, encompassing environmental impact assessments, wetland delineation, stormwater management, and remediation planning. He procures specialized services that ensure Army lands meet EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other federal regulatory requirements, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental compliance, sustainable infrastructure, and mission-aligned ecological support.
