Robert A. Wood

Robert A. Wood serves as a Procurement Analyst for W2SD Endist Baltimore, a unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within the Department of the Army, where he supports the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility services essential to military readiness. His responsibilities include analyzing solicitation requirements, evaluating contractor proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations. He primarily handles complex construction and engineering acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on commercial and institutional building projects, civil engineering works, and related support services. His role is instrumental in translating mission needs into compliant, efficient procurement actions that deliver durable infrastructure across federal and military installations. Mr. Wood maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on experienced firms capable of executing large-scale construction, marine works, and specialized engineering services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for contractors demonstrating proven technical capability, safety compliance, and past performance in federal infrastructure projects. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 18.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 6.3% reserved for SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB) under FAR 19.15, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals alongside mission efficiency. Mr. Wood’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for over 60% of activity, followed by electrical contracting (238210) and engineering services (541330). He specializes in acquiring integrated construction solutions, including site development, building systems installation, and environmental remediation, demonstrating deep expertise in federal facility lifecycle management and civil infrastructure delivery.
