Casey Pehrson

Casey Pehrson serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s Imr Northern ROCKIES (140P14), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure across remote park territories. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to preserve environmental integrity and ensure safe, reliable visitor access through the construction, repair, and modernization of transportation networks, water systems, utilities, and facilities. Pehrson typically handles complex, mission-critical contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on civil works, utility maintenance, and security services. Their acquisitions require coordination with engineering, environmental, and operations teams to align procurement with long-term asset management strategies in challenging, low-access environments. Pehrson maintains consistent working relationships with SAWTOOTH INDUSTRIAL LLC and K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized services in infrastructure maintenance and logistics support. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in remote-site operations, equipment repair, and transportation coordination within protected natural areas. The working relationship is characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing reliability, compliance with environmental standards, and responsiveness to seasonal operational demands. Pehrson’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 34.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts are competed without set-asides, there is a deliberate effort to include small businesses in non-traditional infrastructure roles, particularly in maintenance and service support. No other socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) are prominently utilized, indicating a primary focus on broad small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. The primary NAICS categories reflect a technical focus on Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310), Water and Sewer Line Construction (237110), and Security Systems Services (561621), alongside niche areas like Septic Tank Services and Industrial Equipment Repair. These reflect a domain expertise in civil infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and operational continuity in sensitive ecological zones. Pehrson’s procurement strategy prioritizes contractors capable of delivering durable, low-impact solutions aligned with National Park Service stewardship standards.
