James Bissaillon

James Bissaillon serves as a primary point of contact within the MWR Midwest Region of the Department of the Interior. In this capacity, he supports the agency's mission of preserving and modernizing park infrastructure and visitor facilities. His role involves managing acquisitions focused on the stewardship of natural and cultural resources, specifically regarding facility management, architectural design, and the installation of critical utility systems. The MWR Midwest Region office awards contracts to a diverse range of vendors, including specialized firms such as Bailey Edward Design, Inc., Guardian Construction, Inc., and BKM Construction LLC. Vendors active at this agency typically specialize in architectural services, general construction, and professional site services. The agency demonstrates a varied approach to set-aside preferences. While a significant portion of acquisitions are designated as No Set-Aside, there is a clear commitment to small business participation. This is evidenced by a consistent use of Total Small Business Set-Asides and specific requirements for firms registered under NAICS code 238910 and other relevant socioeconomic categories. Procurement activity is heavily concentrated in the construction and specialty trade sectors. Primary focus areas include plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (NAICS 238220), as well as site preparation (NAICS 238910). Additional technical domain expertise is reflected in the procurement of roofing services, building equipment installation, and specialized textile products such as carpet and rug mills.
