Robert Derr

Robert Derr serves as a contracting professional responsible for managing acquisitions in the environmental services sector, with a singular focus on hazardous waste treatment and disposal. His role centers on ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations while delivering mission-critical waste management solutions through transparent, competitively awarded contracts. He exercises full contracting authority over solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration, primarily supporting operations that require specialized technical expertise in hazardous material handling, treatment, and secure disposal. His procurement activities are aligned with national environmental protection standards and emphasize performance-based outcomes and regulatory adherence. Mr. Derr’s contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with highly specialized environmental service providers possessing the technical certifications and operational capacity to handle regulated hazardous waste streams. He works closely with vendors holding RCRA, DOT, and EPA credentials, selecting firms based on demonstrated compliance history, safety protocols, and facility certifications. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his selections consistently favor firms with proven experience in incineration, chemical neutralization, and landfill containment systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in regulatory reliability and operational excellence. Mr. Derr’s contracting pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability and regulatory compliance over socioeconomic classifications. This approach underscores a mission-driven focus on environmental safety and risk mitigation, where qualification and performance outweigh socioeconomic preferences in source selection. His primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 562211—Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal—where he specializes in acquiring services for the treatment, storage, and disposal of federally regulated hazardous substances. His technical domain expertise includes chemical, biological, and industrial waste streams, with a consistent emphasis on contracts requiring engineered containment, transportation compliance, and environmental monitoring systems.
