Cynthia Dobrinsky

Cynthia Dobrinsky serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining USDA’s field-level operations. Her role centers on securing and managing nonresidential leasing arrangements that enable rural access to farm assistance, conservation programs, and disaster response services. She manages full lifecycle contracting for facility space, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and alignment with the agency’s mission to extend federal presence into underserved agricultural regions. Her acquisitions are exclusively focused on long-term, mission-critical real estate solutions rather than construction or consulting services. Her primary contractor relationships are with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC, though her portfolio is dominated by nonresidential building lessors rather than service providers. Dobrinsky’s contracting pattern reflects a preference for established real estate lessors with proven capacity to deliver turnkey leased facilities, often involving multi-year leases with options for renewal. While she engages with a limited number of vendors, her selections reflect a consistent focus on operational reliability and geographic coverage across rural jurisdictions. Dobrinsky’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize facility availability, location suitability, and lease terms over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent need for immediate, scalable infrastructure in remote areas. Her approach prioritizes mission readiness over small business participation metrics, though it remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations. Her procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses). She specializes in procuring office, storage, and service facility space to support USDA field staff, with a technical focus on properties that meet federal security, accessibility, and utility standards for agricultural operations. Her domain expertise lies in real property acquisition, lease negotiation, and facility compliance within the unique constraints of rural federal operations.
