Robert Rounay

Robert Rounay serves as a key procurement lead within the W072 Endist Huntington under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility infrastructure services critical to sustaining military installations nationwide. His role centers on managing complex contracts for the rehabilitation and modernization of water control structures, transportation corridors, and operational facilities, ensuring compliance with Army engineering standards and resilience requirements. He routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under FAR Part 36, focusing on construction, engineering services, and specialty trade work that supports long-term mission readiness. Rounay maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including MPR Associates, Inc., STANTEC Consulting Services Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Brannon Contracting & Maintenance Services, LLC, and Lewis Gianola PLLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil infrastructure, institutional construction, and environmental compliance. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a strong emphasis on quality control, schedule adherence, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet stringent DoD infrastructure benchmarks. A defining feature of Rounay’s procurement strategy is his robust commitment to small business participation, with 85.7% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, locally based contractors and foster regional economic resilience. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that enhance diversity in the defense industrial base, aligning with Army-wide goals for inclusive sourcing. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in roofing, specialty trade contracting, and commercial building construction. He routinely procures services related to dam and levee maintenance, site grading, stormwater management, and structural rehabilitation, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military civil works and infrastructure lifecycle management.
