Steven R. Rocha

Steven R. Rocha serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Army’s 0409 AQ HQ Contract office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions that sustain critical military infrastructure across U.S. garrisons and overseas installations. His work ensures operational readiness through the acquisition of facility maintenance, specialized construction, and logistics support services essential to airfield, utility, and building systems in Europe and other deployed environments. Rocha handles complex, mission-critical contracts requiring strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations, often coordinating with engineers, logistics planners, and installation managers to align procurement outcomes with force readiness objectives. Rocha maintains consistent contracting relationships with PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHODAPPARATEN B.V., partnering with vendors capable of delivering large-scale facility support and specialized equipment services. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and performance history, particularly with contractors experienced in military-grade infrastructure sustainment. These relationships reflect a preference for established, global providers with proven track records in austere and high-demand operational settings. Rocha’s portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting strategy, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His acquisitions prioritize mission necessity and contractor capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s mandate to ensure rapid, uninterrupted support to forward-deployed forces where time-sensitive performance is paramount. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488490 (Other Support Activities for Road Transportation), 532111 (Passenger Car Rental), 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), and 541330 (Engineering Services). He regularly procures vehicle fleet support, transportation logistics coordination, and engineering design services critical to garrison infrastructure resilience. His domain expertise centers on mobility support, facility systems integration, and civilian-grade equipment adapted for military operational requirements.
