George Sievers

George Sievers serves as a key procurement lead within the Mwr Midwest Region (140P60) of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of specialized architectural services to support the preservation and adaptive reuse of historic structures and recreational infrastructure across the Midwest. His role centers on managing full lifecycle contract actions for design, planning, and engineering services critical to maintaining the cultural and physical integrity of federally protected sites. He ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic mission of heritage conservation and sustainable infrastructure development. Sievers maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced architectural and engineering firms, including HDR Engineering Inc., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and Harley & Ivy LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in historic preservation, structural rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse projects. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, high-capacity contractors with proven track records in federal historic preservation work, often engaging them through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based task orders under indefinite-delivery vehicles. Sievers does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, with 100% of awards issued without 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business set-aside designations. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and project-specific expertise over socioeconomic criteria, though small businesses are eligible and may compete on an equal footing in open competitions. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), encompassing design development, historic structure reports, conservation plans, and construction documentation for landmark buildings and cultural landscapes. He specializes in procuring services requiring deep knowledge of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, building code compliance for historic properties, and sustainable retrofitting techniques within sensitive environmental and cultural contexts.
