Bumjoon Pak

Bumjoon Pak supports the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s acquisition mission within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, overseeing the procurement of technical and engineering services critical to land conservation and agricultural resource management. Responsible for managing contracts that enable soil health initiatives, easement restoration, and data-driven farm planning, Pak ensures alignment between federal conservation goals and contractor capabilities. Their portfolio primarily includes services related to site preparation, custom software development for agricultural analytics, and civil engineering support for rural infrastructure, all designed to enhance on-the-ground implementation of USDA conservation programs. Pak maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which deliver specialized field-level services ranging from soil conditioning and land grading to precision agricultural software solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental compliance, geospatial data systems, and sustainable land management practices. The procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to deliver measurable improvements in conservation effectiveness and data accuracy. Pak’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and proven performance rather than socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes over programmatic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, the nature of the services procured often naturally engages small, specialized firms with niche expertise in agricultural engineering and conservation technology. The primary NAICS categories underpinning Pak’s acquisitions include Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating (115112); Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990); Site Preparation Contractors (238910); and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511). These reflect a technical domain centered on physical land interventions, environmental engineering, and the development of digital tools for conservation planning and monitoring.
