Robert Rugg

Robert Rugg serves as a key procurement lead within the DCSO Richmond Division #1, operating under the Department of Defense to manage acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. He oversees contract actions related to facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and mission-critical mechanical systems, ensuring compliance with federal construction and safety standards. His role centers on executing acquisition strategies that align with the agency’s priorities in infrastructure resilience, hazardous material abatement, and operational readiness. Rugg routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, focusing on performance-based service contracts that emphasize lifecycle support and long-term facility integrity. Rugg maintains a consistent working relationship with XSB INC as the agency’s primary contractor, engaging them across multiple technical domains including remediation, mechanical systems maintenance, and facility upgrades. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and compliance with defense-specific standards, fostering reliable delivery of complex, mission-essential services. He actively collaborates with contractors to ensure adherence to environmental regulations, safety protocols, and DoD facility modernization guidelines, creating a structured, accountability-driven contracting environment. Rugg’s procurement portfolio is fully committed to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small firms while maintaining high standards of service delivery. He consistently awards contracts to small businesses without preference for specific socioeconomic categories, prioritizing capability, capacity, and past performance over certification type, thereby broadening the vendor base while ensuring mission success. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (remediation services), 561990 (support services), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), 238310 (drywall and insulation), and 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning). These categories reflect deep expertise in facility systems integration, environmental compliance, and mechanical infrastructure maintenance—domains critical to sustaining DoD operational readiness across aging installations.
