Dallas Harper-Staub

Dallas Harper-Staub serves as the primary contracting lead for the National Park Service’s Ser WEST (140P52) office, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure, equipment, and operational support services essential to preserving the nation’s natural and cultural heritage. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Harper-Staub ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility restoration, visitor safety, and environmental stewardship. Their portfolio includes high-priority acquisitions ranging from specialized machinery to technical services supporting park operations and historic preservation. Harper-Staub maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including FEDERAL CONTRACTS LLC, COWIN EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., WALBERT, TONY, and POWDER INC., reflecting a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in niche equipment supply and field support services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on reliability, technical specificity, and responsiveness to remote park site requirements. The contracting patterns suggest a reliance on vendors capable of delivering specialized, often non-commercial off-the-shelf solutions tailored to the unique operational demands of national park environments. While the majority of procurements (69.5%) are conducted without set-asides, Harper-Staub demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with over 30% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among qualified small vendors, particularly those offering specialized equipment or field services aligned with park needs, though no specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant in the portfolio. The primary NAICS focus areas include 333112 for lawn and garden equipment manufacturing, 332992 and 325920 for small arms ammunition and explosives manufacturing, and 238330 for flooring contractors—indicating procurement expertise in safety-critical, mission-specific goods and infrastructure services. Harper-Staub’s technical domain centers on acquiring durable, regulated, and often hazardous-materials-related equipment necessary for park maintenance, law enforcement, and historic site preservation.
