Claire Roberson

Claire Roberson serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service, operating under the Department of the Interior, where she manages acquisitions critical to preserving the nation’s most iconic natural and cultural resources. Her responsibilities center on securing infrastructure resilience, operational sustainability, and resource protection services across remote park units. She routinely handles complex contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, security systems, and technical consulting services, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities in climate-adaptive infrastructure, water and wastewater modernization, and trail and road renewal. Roberson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through timely and compliant contracting. Roberson maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including WATER RUNNER LLC, WESTERN MECHANICAL CO INC, and KIESLER POLICE SUPPLY INC, reflecting a focus on specialized providers in water systems, mechanical infrastructure, and security equipment. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in remote-site operations and federal facility maintenance. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and long-term performance reliability, underscoring a relationship-based approach that prioritizes technical competency and operational readiness over broad competition. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 69.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 29.2% of contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5, and occasionally employs Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-asides, reflecting the Department of the Interior’s unique statutory mandates. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic goals for small and Native-owned enterprises. Roberson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with secondary emphasis on engineering, security systems, and technical consulting services. She procures construction, facility maintenance, security integration, and environmental compliance services tailored to the unique challenges of federal park infrastructure, demonstrating deep domain expertise in mission-critical public works and resource protection contracting.
