Jason L. Albright

Jason L. Albright serves as a Program Assistant within the 693C73 Eastern Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, supporting the acquisition and management of transportation infrastructure projects on federally managed lands, including national forests and public rights-of-way. In this role, he assists in the planning, coordination, and execution of procurement activities for highway, bridge, and roadway construction, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission of safe, resilient, and environmentally responsible infrastructure. His responsibilities include contract administration support, documentation management, and liaison coordination between project engineers, contractors, and regulatory stakeholders, primarily facilitating construction and engineering services under FAR Part 36. Albright works closely with a core group of established contractors, including ESTES BROS. CONST. INC., BLUEGRASS CONTRACTING CORP, BRYANT'S LAND AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIES, INC., ECLIPSE COMPANIES, LLC, and ASPEN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated capability in federal land-based construction, often requiring specialized knowledge of environmental compliance, right-of-way management, and remote site logistics. His working relationships are characterized by consistent, repeat engagement with these vendors, indicating a focus on reliability, performance history, and technical proficiency in complex terrain. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competitions, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining modest but intentional participation in HUBZone, Total Small Business, and 8(a) programs, each accounting for 6.7% of awards. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing competition and value while still advancing socioeconomic goals through targeted small business inclusion. The vast majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with a smaller but critical focus on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services). He routinely procures civil construction, earthwork, drainage systems, bridge rehabilitation, and associated engineering design services tailored to the unique challenges of federally owned lands.
