Aaron Adams

Aaron Adams serves as a procurement specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of infrastructure and environmental services critical to preserving America’s national parks. His work centers on managing contracts for the rehabilitation of historic structures, upgrading utility systems, and implementing ecological restoration projects across remote and sensitive landscapes. He handles complex, mission-critical procurements under FAR Part 36 and Part 19, ensuring compliance with federal environmental and historic preservation standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals for resilience and sustainability. Adams maintains longstanding relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for multidisciplinary teams capable of delivering integrated solutions in civil engineering, architectural restoration, and site development. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to demonstrate technical proficiency in working within ecologically constrained environments and under strict historic preservation guidelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Adams consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with over half of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He also actively supports HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity in underserved communities while leveraging local expertise for park-specific challenges. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), underscoring expertise in landscape restoration, historic structure rehabilitation, and infrastructure modernization. He frequently procures architectural services, electrical installations, and landscaping solutions tailored to the unique demands of federally protected lands, ensuring technical compliance with NPS Operational Policies and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
