Rodney Roberson

Rodney Roberson serves as Supervisor Contracting Officer within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure modernization services across the nation’s protected lands. In this role, he manages complex procurement actions for construction, engineering, and utility system upgrades, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to preserve historic structures and enhance visitor facilities in ecologically sensitive environments. His portfolio includes high-stakes, mission-critical contracts requiring technical precision, environmental stewardship, and adherence to federal preservation standards. Roberson maintains longstanding partnerships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., HDR Engineering Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These relationships are built on consistent performance in delivering specialized services such as infrastructure rehabilitation, electrical system upgrades, and site development for remote park facilities. His contracting approach emphasizes contractor reliability, technical competence, and proven experience in federal environmental and historic preservation contexts. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This dual approach ensures competitive rigor while actively fostering opportunities for small business participation, including firms certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and SDVOSB programs, aligning with broader NPS equity and resilience objectives. Roberson’s primary technical focus centers on NAICS codes related to electrical contracting, residential remodeling, petroleum refining support, and specialized manufacturing of navigation and detection systems. His acquisitions frequently involve the procurement of utility system upgrades, structural rehabilitation, and site-specific instrumentation for park operations, demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and mission-critical facility modernization within the National Park Service’s unique operational landscape.
