Anita Tolliver

Anita Tolliver serves as a Contracting Officer within the IBC Acq Svcs Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior, where she manages complex professional and technical service acquisitions critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. Her portfolio centers on securing expert support for real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and systems design to sustain public trust assets and infrastructure integrity. Tolliver exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 15, primarily utilizing negotiated procurements to acquire high-integrity, mission-critical services that support the Bureau of Land Management and other DOI components. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals for land-based operations. Tolliver maintains enduring relationships with specialized contractors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., HMC Helicopter Service LLC, and Mathematica Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche providers with proven capabilities in aviation operations, data analytics, and technical consulting for federal land use. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with contracts often structured as cost-reimbursement or time-and-materials arrangements to accommodate dynamic field operations and evolving scientific requirements. Her set-aside preferences are predominantly non-set-aside, with 82.3% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting a focus on technical merit and mission readiness. However, she consistently supports socioeconomic goals through targeted small business set-asides—11.8% under Total Small Business and 5.9% under Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE)—demonstrating a measured commitment to tribal and small business participation aligned with DOI’s unique statutory mandates. Tolliver’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), each representing 23.5% of her portfolio, alongside 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services). She specializes in acquiring advanced geospatial systems, data modeling, aviation support platforms, and technical services that enable evidence-based land management decisions, reflecting deep domain expertise in federal environmental and operational technology systems.
