Contracts G. Office serves as the primary contracting officer for the Western Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, overseeing the acquisition of critical transportation infrastructure projects across federally managed lands in the western United States. Responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts, they ensure compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance highways, bridges, and roadways in national parks, forests, and other federal territories. Their portfolio is dominated by civil construction and public works acquisitions, with a focus on large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure development and rehabilitation. The office maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including STRIDER CONSTRUCTION CO INC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, M.A. DEATLEY CONSTRUCTION, INC., OFTEDAL CONSTRUCTION, INC., and HAZ-TECH DRILLING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in heavy highway construction, site development, and specialized geotechnical services. Working relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, fostering accountability and technical reliability in complex, environmentally sensitive project environments. Set-aside preferences lean heavily toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, accounting for nearly 40% of awards, while the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors at 54.6%. Limited but intentional use of HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with women-owned small businesses representing a minimal but acknowledged portion of the contracting landscape. This pattern reflects a balance between operational efficiency and statutory small business goals. The office’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—comprising over 97% of awards. Their technical domain expertise centers on earthwork, pavement systems, bridge rehabilitation, drainage structures, and erosion control, with specialized needs occasionally addressed through niche vendors in drilling and environmental remediation services.
