Steve DiBari

Steve DiBari serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist New York, a U.S. Army engineering and infrastructure sustainment office responsible for maintaining and modernizing critical civil and military assets across the Northeast. He manages the acquisition of engineering services essential to infrastructure resilience, including transportation systems, utilities, flood risk mitigation, and navigation channel maintenance. His role centers on ensuring mission-critical projects align with Army engineering standards and operational readiness requirements, overseeing the full lifecycle of contract solicitations, evaluations, and award actions under FAR Part 36. DiBari’s portfolio is exclusively focused on professional engineering services, reflecting the agency’s reliance on technical expertise to support long-term infrastructure sustainability. DiBari maintains established relationships with a core group of high-performing engineering contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements on complex, multi-year infrastructure projects requiring specialized engineering design, environmental compliance, and construction oversight. His contracting approach emphasizes proven performance, technical capability, and past performance evaluation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. The remaining two-thirds are competed without set-asides, prioritizing full and open competition when market conditions support it. This pattern underscores a strategic alignment with Army objectives to expand small business engagement without compromising technical quality or schedule integrity. DiBari’s acquisitions are exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing civil, structural, environmental, and geotechnical engineering disciplines. He procures design-build, design-bid-build, and construction management services for military and civilian infrastructure, requiring deep domain expertise in Army Corps of Engineers standards, environmental permitting, and federal construction codes. His work directly supports the Army’s mission to ensure resilient, mission-ready infrastructure across the Northeast.
