Dee Morrison

Dee Morrison serves as a key procurement lead within the National Operations Center of the Bureau of Land Management, overseeing the acquisition of nonresidential real property leasing services to support federal land management operations. Responsible for ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations, Morrison manages the full lifecycle of lease agreements—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—enabling the agency to secure mission-critical facility space for field offices, visitor centers, and operational hubs. Their work directly supports the BLM’s mission of sustainable land stewardship by securing appropriate infrastructure to facilitate public access, environmental monitoring, and resource management activities. Morrison maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in commercial real estate leasing and facility management, including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., DJ&A, P.C., Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., Wasatch West Contracting LLC, and Alvin K. Spears. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, reflecting a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in federal property compliance, environmental mitigation, and infrastructure adaptability. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and operational continuity over competitive bidding alone. Morrison’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on open competition and value-driven outcomes rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes the broadest possible market participation to ensure optimal facility solutions, with no formal preference for small, minority, or veteran-owned businesses in the award process. The agency’s procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting a specialized focus on leasing existing commercial and institutional properties rather than construction or renovation. Morrison’s expertise lies in negotiating lease terms that align with federal land use mandates, ensuring properties meet safety, accessibility, and environmental standards while supporting the operational needs of remote BLM field units.
