Frederick Ledoux

Frederick Ledoux serves as a key procurement lead within the Lower Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, overseeing acquisitions critical to the modernization and operational resilience of water infrastructure across the arid Southwest. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for civil works, environmental compliance, and facility modernization projects, with a focus on ensuring alignment with federal water policy and sustainability mandates. He routinely handles complex construction, technical training, and utility system upgrades, coordinating closely with engineering and environmental teams to align contracting strategies with mission-critical infrastructure goals. Ledoux maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in water-related construction and land management, including KWR Construction Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Laz Parking Ltd., LLC, Flint Farms, LLC, and Greenheart Farms, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional vendors with proven expertise in irrigation system maintenance, site development, and ecological land stewardship. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local economic impact, and long-term operational compatibility with Bureau of Reclamation assets. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ledoux prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing 75% of his acquisitions to small businesses, including HUBZone and SDVOSB-eligible firms. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster regional economic development and increase competition among qualified vendors with niche capabilities in water infrastructure support services. His contracting patterns consistently align with socioeconomic goals outlined in the Department of the Interior’s procurement directives. His procurement portfolio is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: 237110 for water and sewer line construction, 333517 for machine tool manufacturing, 335311 for power transformer systems, and 611430 for professional and management development training. These reflect a technical focus on hydraulic infrastructure, electrical system upgrades, and workforce capacity building—ensuring both physical and human capital are equipped to sustain long-term water resource operations.
