Jason Clindinin

Jason Clindinin serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, responsible for securing real estate infrastructure to support USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. He manages the acquisition of nonresidential leasing and facility services essential to maintaining a scalable, geographically dispersed physical presence across rural and underserved regions. His portfolio focuses exclusively on long-term property leases and related site management services, ensuring USDA personnel have secure, functional, and accessible workspaces to deliver farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. Clindinin’s work directly enables mission continuity by aligning real estate procurement with operational needs in remote and high-priority areas. His primary contractor relationships include Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which provide property leasing, site development, and facility management services. He maintains consistent, repeat engagements with these vendors, reflecting a preference for established partners with proven capacity in managing federal real estate portfolios. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, low turnover, and a focus on compliance with federal property standards. The Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc., while less frequent, supports specialized advisory services tied to facility planning and program alignment. Clindinin’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted, full and open competition, with 95.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Only 4.3% of contracts are awarded under the 8(a) program, indicating a minimal reliance on socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes functional capability and facility readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s operational urgency and infrastructure standardization needs. His procurement activity is entirely concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. He specializes in acquiring office, storage, and operational space tailored to agricultural service delivery, with an emphasis on lease terms, maintenance obligations, and site accessibility. His domain expertise lies in navigating federal property regulations, lease negotiation frameworks, and facility compliance requirements critical to rural federal operations.
