Jacqueline McAdam

Jacqueline McAdam serves as a Contract Administrator within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where she plays a critical role in executing specialized procurement actions that support federal land management and resource stewardship. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for professional and technical services, including real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and systems design. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain infrastructure integrity and uphold public trust assets through expert-led acquisitions aligned with federal acquisition regulations and strategic modernization goals. McAdam maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Mathematica Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., and HMC Helicopter Service LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche aviation, data analytics, and technical support services essential to operational continuity across remote federal lands. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-safety, mission-critical domains, fostering long-term performance-based engagements grounded in rigorous compliance and outcome-driven deliverables. Her procurement approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business participation. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she strategically leverages small business set-asides to expand vendor diversity and enhance competition in specialized service categories. McAdam’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) and NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), reflecting a unique convergence of technical infrastructure and specialized equipment needs. These categories align with agency efforts to modernize land management systems and support ancillary facilities on federal holdings, requiring expertise in both advanced instrumentation and facility maintenance services. Her domain knowledge spans technical procurement for environmental monitoring systems and operational infrastructure, underscoring her role at the intersection of engineering, logistics, and public asset stewardship.
