Jason Burdett

Jason Burdett serves as a key procurement lead within the Mwr Missouri MABO (140P62), part of the National Park Service under the Department of the Interior, where he manages acquisitions critical to preserving and modernizing infrastructure across protected natural and cultural sites. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of facility-related contracts, including emergency remediation, utility system upgrades, and structural maintenance projects essential to visitor safety and environmental stewardship. He typically handles complex construction and specialty trade contracts requiring compliance with federal environmental and historic preservation standards, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain park integrity through resilient infrastructure. Burdett cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in facility operations and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in roofing, plumbing, HVAC, and commercial building construction. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages small and mid-sized firms capable of rapid response and site-specific adaptability, often working with local contractors familiar with the unique constraints of National Park Service lands. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous inspection protocols, and contractor accountability in sensitive ecological environments. He demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable emphasis on socioeconomic categories including Women-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and foster regional economic resilience, consistently prioritizing small business eligibility and compliance with federal socioeconomic goals. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 238160 (Roofing), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with additional activity in concrete product manufacturing and specialty trade contracting. He procures mission-critical systems such as stormwater management infrastructure, historic building envelope repairs, and utility line replacements, demonstrating deep expertise in balancing preservation standards with modern engineering requirements.
