Robert Sung

Robert Sung serves as the primary procurement lead for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior, overseeing mission-critical acquisitions that support ecological stewardship and habitat conservation. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning land management, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure support for national wildlife refuges, with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in invasive species control, fire risk mitigation, and wildlife disease surveillance. His acquisitions typically involve site preparation, laboratory testing, and specialized equipment procurement essential to field operations and scientific research. Sung maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Federal Contracts LLC, Grassland Management, LLC, and Hawaii Resource Group LLC, which provide specialized ecological services, habitat restoration, and logistical support across sensitive ecosystems. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in environmental compliance, remote site operations, and native species management. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures that emphasize measurable ecological outcomes and adaptive management. His contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 71.5% of acquisitions issued without set-asides, reflecting a competitive, open-bidding strategy. However, he actively supports small business participation, with over 25% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and modest but consistent allocations to HUBZone and 8(a) firms, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission effectiveness. Sung’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to environmental services and infrastructure, including 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), and 212319 (Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying), indicating expertise in procuring erosion control materials, environmental sampling, and habitat stabilization services. His technical domain spans ecological engineering, wildlife corridor development, and fuel reduction projects, requiring deep familiarity with federal environmental standards and field-ready technical specifications.
