Rippert P. Roberts

Rippert P. Roberts serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist New York office of the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Northeastern United States. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, Roberts ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through resilient civil works, transportation networks, and utility systems. His portfolio primarily consists of firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for heavy civil engineering, facility construction, and environmental remediation projects. Roberts maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in military-grade infrastructure delivery, often involving joint ventures and multidisciplinary teams capable of managing large-scale, mission-critical projects under stringent regulatory and security requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 80.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Roberts demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with over 19% of awards directed toward total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach, prioritizing capability and capacity while actively supporting veteran-owned and small business entrants in the defense construction sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in highway, bridge, and utility infrastructure. Roberts brings deep technical expertise in civil engineering systems, environmental compliance, and facility modernization, ensuring acquisitions meet both operational needs and long-term resilience standards.
