Steven Ridelhuber

Steven Ridelhuber serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility sustainment and operational support contracts across continental U.S. military installations. His role centers on executing acquisition strategies that ensure the continued functionality, safety, and environmental compliance of military infrastructure, with a primary focus on janitorial and custodial services. He oversees the full lifecycle of service contracts—from requirements development and market research to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army installation readiness goals and federal contracting regulations. Ridelhuber maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom provide integrated facility services under long-term task order arrangements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in military facility operations, fostering reliable, performance-based partnerships that emphasize quality control, compliance, and mission continuity. These relationships are typically structured under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to support responsive, scalable service delivery across multiple installations. He demonstrates a consistent and exclusive commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses while ensuring competitive, high-performing service delivery. His contracting approach aligns with DoD’s broader socioeconomic objectives, prioritizing small business inclusion without reliance on specialized set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine and specialized custodial operations, waste management, sanitization protocols, and grounds maintenance essential to institutional facility readiness. His expertise lies in defining performance metrics, ensuring compliance with military sanitation standards, and integrating environmental sustainability practices into service contracts.
