Bradley Metler

Bradley Metler serves as the primary contracting lead for the National Park Service’s Pwr LAME(81000) office, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure maintenance and utility systems essential to the operational resilience of protected lands. Responsible for managing complex procurements under FAR Part 19 and Part 36, he ensures compliance with federal mandates for facility modernization, environmental sustainability, and resource preservation. His portfolio centers on civil works, mechanical systems, and utility upgrades, with a strong emphasis on water, wastewater, HVAC, and plumbing infrastructure—key components of the NPS’s mission to sustain historic and natural sites for public use. Metler maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including BOULDER DISPOSAL INC, PASSION IN THE WORK LLC, MIB ENTERPRISES, INC., KONE INC, and MICHAEL PORTALATIN LLC. These vendors provide niche expertise in facility repair, elevator maintenance, industrial equipment servicing, and environmental waste management. His contracting approach favors long-term, performance-based engagements with firms possessing proven track records in national park environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and minimal operational disruption during execution. A strong advocate for small business participation, Metler consistently structures procurements with a 66.7% total small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, prioritizing firms certified as small, veteran-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic inclusion while leveraging the agility and local knowledge of smaller contractors who understand the unique constraints of park operations. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), and 221310 (Water Supply Systems), with secondary emphasis on commercial machinery repair (811310). He specializes in procuring integrated systems for facility rehabilitation, including HVAC retrofits, potable water line upgrades, and wastewater treatment enhancements—all critical to sustaining the NPS’s infrastructure in remote and ecologically sensitive locations.
