Robert P Rounay

Robert P. Rounay serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVFACSYSCOM Washington, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical facility acquisition programs for the Department of the Navy. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and professional services contracts, he ensures compliance with FAR and Navy-specific procurement policies while supporting infrastructure modernization across Pacific Northwest military installations. His portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, engineering services, and training programs, all aligned with enhancing operational readiness through resilient, energy-efficient facilities. Rounay’s work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in sustainment, renovation, and infrastructure expansion. Rounay maintains established relationships with key contractors including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, high-performing firms with proven track records in naval facility projects. He consistently engages these vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, fostering collaborative, performance-driven partnerships grounded in quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance. While his primary contractors are large primes, he actively facilitates subcontracting opportunities to ensure broader industry participation. Rounay’s contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 85.7% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, he demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business engagement, consistently awarding 14.3% of his contracts as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His approach balances efficiency and market competitiveness with statutory obligations to promote small business participation, though he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His primary NAICS focus is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he manages complex construction projects involving design-build and construction management delivery methods. He also procures engineering services under 541330 and professional training under 611430, demonstrating expertise in integrated facility lifecycle support—from design and construction to workforce development and operational sustainment.
