Ana Fife

Ana Fife serves as a key procurement lead within the Upper Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, managing complex acquisitions that support critical water infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and civil engineering operations across the Upper Colorado River Basin. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to ensure sustainable water delivery and ecological resilience through the procurement of specialized engineering services, hydraulic system upgrades, and operational support. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15 for design-build, construction, and technical services, with a focus on long-term project lifecycle management and performance-based contracting. Fife maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC, SOUTHWEST WATER DESIGN, L.L.C., RIVERRESTORATION.ORG, LLC, PACIFIC OVERHEAD CRANE SERVICES INC., and ROBINS CONSTRUCTION, LLLP. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in water resource engineering, environmental remediation, and heavy equipment installation. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with federal environmental standards, fostering collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships. While the majority of her acquisitions—77.1%—are conducted without set-asides, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (22.9%), aligning with FAR 19.5 guidelines. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to engage qualified small businesses in technical and support services, though she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB in a dominant manner. Her primary NAICS focus includes Electric Power Distribution (221122) and Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515), indicating strong demand for grid-integrated monitoring systems and sensor technologies. She also procures Solid Waste Collection (562111) and Janitorial Services (561720) to support field operations, reflecting a broad operational footprint that blends high-tech engineering with essential facility support services.
