Anne Laporta

Anne Laporta serves as a key procurement professional within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of construction, engineering, and architectural services critical to the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. She manages complex contracts for the rehabilitation of historic structures, upgrading of utility systems, and enhancement of visitor facilities across ecologically sensitive and remote sites. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain the nation’s cultural and natural heritage through strategic, mission-aligned contracting. Laporta typically handles design-build, construction management, and professional services acquisitions under FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with federal preservation standards and environmental regulations. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including HDR Engineering Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, all of which bring specialized expertise in historic preservation, civil engineering, and site development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in federal heritage projects and complex site logistics. Laporta fosters long-term vendor collaborations grounded in technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and performance reliability, often leveraging task orders under multiple-award contracts to respond to urgent infrastructure needs. Her contracting portfolio exhibits minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 96.4% of awards issued under open competition, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is limited to 3.6%, it is primarily structured through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a targeted, performance-driven approach rather than broad socioeconomic mandates. Laporta’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and heavy civil construction (237990). She routinely procures services related to structural rehabilitation, water and sewer system upgrades, and exterior restoration, requiring deep technical knowledge of historic building codes, NPS-28 compliance, and sustainable construction practices for protected lands.
