Claire Roberson

Claire Roberson serves as a Contract Specialist at the Denver Federal Center under the Bureau of Reclamation, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to the agency’s mission of modernizing water resource systems across the western United States. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of heavy civil engineering, environmental monitoring, and operational maintenance contracts that ensure the integrity of hydraulic structures, hydrologic data systems, and ecosystem restoration initiatives. She applies full lifecycle contracting expertise to complex, technically driven acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while aligning procurements with the Bureau’s strategic priorities in water sustainability and infrastructure resilience. Roberson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Frontier Precision Inc., BenchLab LLC, and Royal Media Network, Inc., each providing niche capabilities in environmental sampling, precision instrumentation, and technical reporting. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, performance reliability, and regulatory compliance, particularly for services requiring specialized field expertise in hydrologic data collection and mechanical system maintenance. She maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting and equitable opportunity. All of her acquisitions are structured to maximize participation from small businesses, ensuring that qualified firms—regardless of size—can compete for mission-critical contracts supporting federal water infrastructure. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate alignment with the Bureau’s goals of fostering local economic development through targeted small business engagement. Her primary focus is on NAICS 811310, Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance, which encompasses the servicing, calibration, and preventive maintenance of specialized hydrologic sensors, water flow monitoring systems, and field instrumentation. She routinely procures technical services for the upkeep of precision equipment used in real-time environmental data acquisition, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational demands of federal water resource management.
