Jackie Li

Feyna Li serves as the primary contracting lead for the Great Plains Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services and specialized equipment essential to water resource management. In this role, she manages a diverse portfolio of procurements aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize water conveyance systems, hydropower facilities, and civil works infrastructure. Her acquisitions span technical services, industrial equipment, and testing solutions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing operational resilience across arid and semi-arid regions. Li maintains a focused working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, the agency’s principal contractor for site development and infrastructure support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil works and industrial equipment logistics, though she actively cultivates partnerships with niche suppliers capable of delivering specialized instrumentation and environmental monitoring systems. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis to ensure long-term operational reliability. Her procurement strategy prioritizes total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with 40% of awards designated for small businesses, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. While no other set-aside categories dominate her portfolio, she consistently leverages small business capabilities to meet technical demands without compromising mission outcomes. Li’s primary NAICS focus areas include petroleum refineries, HVAC and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing, electrical testing instrumentation, construction machinery leasing, and testing laboratory services. These reflect her technical expertise in procuring systems that support water monitoring, energy generation, and infrastructure maintenance—particularly sensors, control systems, and rental equipment critical to field operations. Her domain knowledge bridges civil engineering, environmental compliance, and industrial automation, ensuring acquisitions align with the Bureau’s mission-critical infrastructure goals.
