Robert Jones

Robert Jones serves as Facilities Manager for Region 6: Emergency Preparedness A within the Federal Emergency Management Agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, he oversees the procurement and deployment of temporary infrastructure critical to disaster response and recovery operations. His responsibilities include managing acquisitions for sanitation, hygiene, and logistical support facilities that enable operational readiness in high-risk regions. Jones ensures that all facility-related procurements align with federal emergency protocols, prioritizing rapid mobilization, modular construction, and compliance with FEMA’s incident command structure. He handles a range of construction, renovation, and equipment procurement actions essential to sustaining mission-critical field operations during acute emergencies. Jones works closely with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in modular facility systems, temporary sanitation units, and rapid-deployment infrastructure. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, his procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in emergency response environments, including those capable of delivering turnkey solutions under compressed timelines. His working relationships emphasize agility, compliance with federal construction standards, and the ability to scale operations across multiple incident zones simultaneously. A strong advocate for small business participation, Jones consistently directs approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. His portfolio frequently supports small businesses certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and other qualifying programs, reinforcing the agency’s mission to strengthen local economic resilience through emergency procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337214 (office furniture), 238330 (flooring contractors), and 238390 (other building finishing contractors), with additional activity in 236220 (commercial and institutional construction). These categories reflect his expertise in procuring durable, portable, and rapidly installable facility components—such as modular restrooms, flooring systems, and interior finishes—that meet stringent federal safety and sanitation standards for emergency use.
