J. Scott Rinehart

J. Scott Rinehart serves as a key procurement professional within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of military installations across the continental United States. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and facility support contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure safe, functional, and environmentally compliant infrastructure. His acquisitions span institutional building construction, grounds maintenance, and related professional services, requiring strict adherence to federal construction standards and DoD facility readiness requirements. Rinehart plays a central role in translating operational needs into compliant, performance-based solicitations that uphold mission continuity and long-term asset value. Rinehart maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., who are frequently awarded complex, multi-year construction and renovation tasks. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven experience in military facility upgrades, institutional maintenance, and integrated project delivery methods. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and past performance, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to streamline recurring service requirements while maintaining competitive integrity. Rinehart’s procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36.4% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small contractors in the defense infrastructure sector. This pattern supports broader DoD goals for equitable access and workforce development within the federal acquisition ecosystem. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 922120 (Police Protection), reflecting a dual emphasis on physical infrastructure modernization and security-related facility enhancements. Additional expertise includes engineering services (541330) and landscaping (561730), underscoring his role in holistic installation management that integrates built environment, safety, and environmental stewardship.
