Abdelrahman Shurbaji

Abdelrahman Shurbaji serves as a procurement specialist within the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical infrastructure and resource management services. His role centers on facilitating contracts that ensure the operational readiness of fish hatcheries, ecological reserves, and water quality infrastructure. He manages acquisitions aligned with field operations, focusing on construction, maintenance, and technical services essential to habitat restoration and environmental compliance. His procurement activities are tightly integrated with the agency’s scientific and field-based priorities, ensuring that contracted solutions directly support conservation outcomes and regulatory mandates. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Shurbaji’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with firms specializing in water infrastructure, environmental construction, and resource extraction support services. He collaborates with vendors capable of delivering complex civil works, including pipeline installation, well drilling, and irrigation system upgrades, often requiring compliance with state environmental standards and permitting protocols. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical competency and regulatory alignment rather than vendor size or status. Shurbaji’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under no set-aside classification. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude participation by small, 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms that meet stringent performance criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 213111 (drilling for oil and gas wells), 221310 (water supply and irrigation systems), and 237110 (water and sewer line construction), each representing critical infrastructure domains for habitat and water resource management. He procures services involving groundwater extraction, aquifer recharge systems, conveyance infrastructure, and related civil works, demonstrating deep familiarity with environmental engineering and water resource compliance frameworks.
