Debra M. Ordiway serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions in environmental services and specialized logistics, with a primary focus on hazardous waste treatment and disposal under NAICS 562211. Her work supports critical infrastructure and regulatory compliance initiatives, ensuring the safe and lawful handling of hazardous materials through contracted technical services. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—aligning acquisitions with federal environmental standards and operational needs. Her portfolio also includes warehousing and storage services under NAICS 493190, reflecting a dual emphasis on environmental remediation and supply chain support functions. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing specialized environmental engineering capabilities, hazardous materials handling certifications, and secure storage infrastructure. She cultivates partnerships with vendors that demonstrate proven technical competence, regulatory adherence, and operational scalability, often requiring ISO, RCRA, and DOT compliance credentials. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability and performance history, favoring established service providers with demonstrated expertise in high-risk environmental operations. Ordiway exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31.6% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other socioeconomic categories are prominently utilized, her consistent reliance on small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small firms in the environmental services sector. This pattern reflects a balanced approach to meeting mission needs while advancing federal socioeconomic goals. Her technical domain centers on hazardous waste management, including treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) operations, as well as ancillary warehousing for regulated materials. She routinely procures specialized services such as chemical neutralization, containerized transport, and secure long-term storage, requiring contractors with EPA-registered facilities and certified personnel. Her expertise lies in navigating the complex regulatory landscape of environmental compliance, ensuring acquisitions meet both operational demands and federal environmental mandates.
