Brandi Clark

Brandi Clark serves as a key procurement professional within the Upper Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, supporting the agency’s mission to manage water infrastructure and ensure ecological resilience across the Upper Colorado River Basin. She oversees the acquisition of civil engineering, environmental consulting, and operational services critical to maintaining hydraulic structures, conducting environmental assessments, and modernizing water management systems. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in sustainable water supply and infrastructure stewardship, with a focus on complex, mission-critical contracts requiring technical expertise in hydrology, environmental compliance, and civil works construction. Clark maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC, SOUTHWEST WATER DESIGN, L.L.C., and RIVERRESTORATION.ORG, LLC, which provide specialized environmental and water resource engineering services. She also regularly engages PACIFIC OVERHEAD CRANE SERVICES INC. and ROBINS CONSTRUCTION, LLLP for heavy civil construction and mechanical system installations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal water projects, environmental remediation, and infrastructure rehabilitation, often requiring security clearances and site-specific operational knowledge. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria. However, she consistently allocates 12.5% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation while prioritizing mission needs. Clark’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting her central role in securing environmental assessments, water quality monitoring, and ecological restoration planning. She also procures heavy civil construction (237990), specialized instrumentation (334511), and support services such as janitorial and equipment leasing, underscoring her broad oversight of both technical and operational requirements essential to federal water infrastructure management.
