Cody Seaton

Cody Seaton serves as a key procurement professional within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to supporting USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential leasing services, Seaton ensures the agency secures stable, accessible, and strategically located facilities across rural and underserved regions to enable efficient delivery of farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. His procurement activities center on long-term facility planning and space optimization, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain a scalable physical footprint for federal personnel operating in remote areas. Seaton maintains consistent working relationships with a limited pool of specialized vendors, primarily Greenwood Properties, L.L.P. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide real estate development, site preparation, and facility management services. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with demonstrated expertise in agricultural land use, rural infrastructure, and federal compliance standards. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, repeat vendors with proven track records in delivering mission-critical real estate solutions under complex federal regulatory frameworks. Seaton’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and facility suitability over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing mission readiness and operational continuity. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, the nature of the acquisitions—largely tied to specialized real estate development—naturally limits the pool of qualified offerors. His primary NAICS focus is 531120, Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses), indicating deep expertise in lease acquisition, property management contracts, and facility leasing for federal use. He procures turnkey real estate solutions including land acquisition, building upgrades, and long-term occupancy agreements tailored to the unique needs of agricultural outreach and conservation field offices.
