R. David Williams

Roger Williams serves as a Contracting Officer for W071 Endist Seattle under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil infrastructure and construction acquisitions that sustain military readiness across the Pacific Northwest. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for heavy civil engineering projects, including coastal and hydraulic infrastructure, facility construction, and environmental remediation efforts critical to installation resilience. His portfolio primarily consists of firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, requiring technical expertise in engineering design, construction management, and environmental compliance. Williams plays a pivotal role in translating mission-critical infrastructure needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that align with Army Corps of Engineers standards. Williams maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RDC JPA Architecture, FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Absher Construction Co., and Big River Construction Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in military construction, marine repair, and heavy civil works. He fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting environments, emphasizing quality control, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. His approach prioritizes long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, ensuring continuity across multi-year infrastructure modernization programs. Williams demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. He actively promotes opportunities for small businesses in the civil construction and industrial equipment sectors, though he does not rely heavily on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His procurement strategy emphasizes competitive fairness while ensuring small business inclusion as a core component of program sustainability. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in large-scale infrastructure development and specialized HVAC systems for military facilities. He procures turnkey construction services, structural upgrades, and industrial climate control systems tailored to high-security, high-reliability environments.
