Connie Gordon

Connie Gordon serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s Arizona office, supporting the agency’s mission to preserve and maintain critical infrastructure across the nation’s most treasured natural and cultural sites. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility construction, transportation systems, and specialized equipment essential to park operations. Her work ensures that public access, resource protection, and environmental compliance are upheld through compliant, mission-aligned contracting. She routinely handles complex construction and engineering contracts requiring adherence to federal environmental regulations and historic preservation standards. Gordon’s contracting activity reflects a deliberate emphasis on small business engagement, with 60% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she maintains relationships with a broad base of vendors, no single contractor dominates her portfolio, indicating a strategic preference for competitive, dispersed sourcing that promotes regional economic resilience and vendor diversity. Her approach fosters partnerships with local and regional firms capable of delivering specialized services in remote or ecologically sensitive environments. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, NAICS 237310 for highway and bridge infrastructure, and NAICS 483212 for inland water passenger transportation—reflecting the NPS’s need for durable, low-impact infrastructure in park settings. She also procures specialized equipment under NAICS 334511 and 335312, including navigation systems and motorized infrastructure components critical to park operations. Her technical expertise lies in integrating sustainable design principles with federal construction standards to support long-term operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.
