Clayton Archuleta

Clayton Archuleta serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s NCR Regional Contracting Office, supporting the preservation and operational integrity of the National Capital Region’s historic and natural resources. He manages a diverse portfolio of facility operations and maintenance contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of environmental stewardship and adaptive reuse of cultural infrastructure. His acquisitions primarily focus on service-based contracts that sustain park functionality, enhance visitor safety, and support long-term resource conservation, often requiring coordination with landscape architects, engineering consultants, and facility management specialists. Archuleta maintains consistent working relationships with GALICIA CONSTRUCTION CORP and MOBILE TECHS LLC, both of which provide specialized services in construction maintenance and mobile technology support for park operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in historic preservation environments and responsive, on-site service delivery. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in quality and accountability rather than transactional procurement. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on targeted set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based approach to fostering competition among qualified small firms across multiple socioeconomic categories. Archuleta’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing grounds maintenance, pest control, waste removal, janitorial services, and infrastructure upkeep for sensitive historic sites. His expertise centers on managing service contracts that require specialized knowledge of NPS preservation standards, sustainable practices, and seasonal operational demands, ensuring that all contracted work aligns with the agency’s mission to protect and present America’s most treasured landscapes and monuments.
