Gardner D Jones III

Gardner D. Jones III serves as a Facilities Environmental Specialist, responsible for ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations in the planning, acquisition, and management of facility-related services and infrastructure. His role is central to the agency’s mission of maintaining safe, sustainable, and environmentally compliant operations, particularly within postal and logistics facilities. He typically handles acquisitions for environmental remediation, hazardous waste management, air and water quality monitoring, and facility sustainability initiatives, working closely with engineering and operations teams to align procurement with regulatory standards such as RCRA, CERCLA, and NEPA. Jones collaborates with a broad network of environmental consulting firms, engineering contractors, and specialized service providers who deliver technical expertise in environmental assessment, remediation design, and regulatory permitting. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, his procurement activity consistently engages vendors with demonstrated capabilities in environmental compliance, industrial hygiene, and facility decommissioning services. His working relationships emphasize technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to federal environmental protocols. Jones’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical qualifications and performance capability over socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes and regulatory compliance, with limited use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, suggesting a procurement strategy centered on specialized expertise rather than socioeconomic objectives. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 491110 (Postal Service), where he specializes in environmental services integral to postal facility operations—including spill response, asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, and stormwater management. His domain expertise lies in integrating environmental compliance into large-scale logistics infrastructure, ensuring that postal operations meet federal environmental mandates while maintaining operational continuity.
