Adam Perry

Adam Perry serves as a Wildlife Biologist with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, where he provides scientific oversight for wildlife conservation initiatives that inform environmental procurement decisions. His role bridges ecological research and operational contracting, ensuring that acquisition activities align with the agency’s mission of science-based stewardship. Perry typically handles procurements related to habitat restoration, forest ecosystem monitoring, and wildlife management infrastructure, often collaborating with field teams to define technical requirements for contractor-delivered services. His work directly supports sustainable land use policies and regulatory compliance under state and federal environmental statutes. Perry works closely with environmental consulting firms, ecological survey contractors, and forestry service providers to execute field-based data collection, wildlife population assessments, and habitat enhancement projects. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in ecological monitoring, GIS mapping, and native species reintroduction. His working relationships emphasize technical competence, regulatory familiarity, and adherence to New York’s environmental standards, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in state-managed lands and protected wildlife corridors. Perry’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” He does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on technical merit and ecological suitability in vendor selection. This approach underscores a mission-driven commitment to outcome-based contracting rather than socioeconomic targeting, ensuring that conservation objectives are met through the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), where he sources services such as forest inventory, invasive species control, and reforestation planning. He also routinely procures NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) for wildlife crossing structures and erosion control infrastructure. Perry’s technical expertise centers on ecological resilience, habitat connectivity, and sustainable land management practices, making him a key liaison between field biology and infrastructure contracting within the DEC’s environmental stewardship framework.
