Roberto Zepeda

Robert Zepeda serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex infrastructure and engineering acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military installations. His work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in nuclear deterrence, base readiness, and operational infrastructure resilience. Zepeda typically oversees full lifecycle contract actions for construction, civil works, and technical engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned delivery timelines. He plays a central role in translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual obligations that deliver durable, mission-critical facilities across the continental U.S. Zepeda maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of prime contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions in heavy civil construction and specialized infrastructure systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and contractor accountability, fostering a reliable vendor ecosystem with proven track records in defense-sector projects. Zepeda’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This underscores a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the selection of the most qualified contractors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all awards remain compliant with FAR requirements for fair and transparent competition. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), which accounts for two-thirds of his acquisitions, alongside NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services). He routinely procures heavy civil infrastructure, utility corridor development, reinforced facility construction, and geotechnical engineering support essential to sustaining the Army’s strategic deterrence posture and training infrastructure.
