Carrie Calleja

Carrie Calleja serves as a key procurement professional within the Pacific Northwest Region (PN 6615) of the Bureau of Reclamation, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain critical water infrastructure across the western United States. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for civil works, including dam safety upgrades, canal rehabilitation, hydropower facility enhancements, and shoreline protection systems. Her role involves end-to-end acquisition planning, solicitation development, and contract administration under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with federal standards while advancing operational reliability and environmental sustainability goals. Calleja maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure, DJ&A, P.C. for engineering and legal advisory services, INTER-FLUVE, INC. for aquatic and hydraulic engineering, and HOOPOE LABS INC for technology-enabled monitoring solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven technical expertise in water resource systems, civil construction, and environmental compliance, fostering long-term collaboration on complex, mission-critical projects. Her contracting patterns prioritize open competition, with approximately 70.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating nearly 27% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with a modest but consistent focus on Women-Owned Small Businesses. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to fostering competition while ensuring access for qualified small firms. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to security services (561612), commercial machinery repair (811310), and surveying and mapping (541370), indicating a strong emphasis on operational support, facility maintenance, and geospatial data collection for infrastructure assessment. These categories underscore her technical expertise in procuring services that ensure the safety, efficiency, and data-driven management of federal water projects.
