Aleksandr Kragh

Aleksandr Kragh serves as a procurement lead within the Vermont Drinking Water & Groundwater Protection Division, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard public health through the protection of drinking water and groundwater resources. In this role, he manages acquisitions for technical services and infrastructure systems critical to contaminant detection, remediation, and regulatory compliance. His procurement activities focus on securing environmental consulting, water system infrastructure, and specialized monitoring instrumentation, ensuring alignment with federal and state water quality standards. Kragh’s work directly enables the division’s capacity to respond to emerging threats such as PFAS contamination through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting. Kragh collaborates with a diverse array of environmental and engineering service providers, including firms specializing in hydrogeological assessments, water system design, and analytical laboratory services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in water quality testing, contaminant modeling, and compliance reporting. He fosters long-term partnerships with consultants who bring technical rigor and regulatory familiarity, often engaging firms through performance-based task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Kragh’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded without socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission-critical expertise over socioeconomic classifications, though it does not preclude participation from small or disadvantaged businesses that meet stringent technical requirements. His approach prioritizes outcome-driven performance and compliance over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s urgent need for specialized environmental services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), with significant activity also in 334513 for advanced water quality monitoring instruments. He routinely acquires services for PFAS detection, groundwater modeling, and distribution system integrity assessments, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental analytical technology and water infrastructure modernization.
