Damon Moody

Damon Moody 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 supporting USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Responsible for securing and managing nonresidential leased facilities across rural and underserved regions, Moody ensures the agency maintains a scalable, accessible physical footprint to deliver farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. His acquisitions focus exclusively on long-term property leasing arrangements, aligning with the agency’s mission to enable seamless operational presence where federal services are most needed. Moody maintains consistent working relationships with a small cohort of specialized real estate providers, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, who deliver turnkey property solutions for federal occupancy. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on adaptive reuse, site readiness, and compliance with federal facility standards. The Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc. appears as a non-traditional contractor, suggesting occasional procurement of facility-related research or planning services to support strategic site selection. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in Moody’s procurement portfolio; all awards are competed full and open, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on operational efficiency and geographic coverage over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes proven capability and facility readiness over certification-based criteria, resulting in a streamlined acquisition process tailored to urgent infrastructure needs. His procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—indicating deep specialization in commercial property leasing for federal use. Moody’s domain expertise lies in negotiating leases for office, storage, and operational facilities that meet USDA’s technical requirements for security, accessibility, and resilience in rural environments, ensuring that field personnel have reliable, mission-ready spaces to serve agricultural communities.
