Jacqueline Carlisle

Jacqueline Carlisle serves as a key procurement professional within the Washington Contracting Office of the National Park Service, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that support the preservation of the nation’s cultural and natural resources. She oversees contracts for infrastructure rehabilitation, environmental restoration, and visitor facility enhancements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her portfolio spans construction, professional services, and technical support, with a focus on delivering sustainable, accessible, and resilient park infrastructure that meets the needs of millions of annual visitors. Carlisle maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors including PENNSYLVANIA & SOUTHERN RAILWAY LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized construction and facility services critical to National Park operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance history, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise in historic preservation and ecological infrastructure. She routinely engages contractors with demonstrated capability in complex site work, heritage-sensitive construction, and environmental remediation. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 70% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a meaningful 30% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs specifically, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster broad small business participation across the construction and professional services sectors. Carlisle’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (professional and technical services), 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), and 238110/238220 (concrete and HVAC contracting). She specializes in acquisitions involving historic structure rehabilitation, trail and roadway upgrades, utility system modernization, and visitor center renovations, requiring deep technical knowledge of federal environmental standards, accessibility requirements, and preservation guidelines.
