Javier Carrillo

Javier Carrillo serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division (12FPAC), supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s mission to advance land conservation and rural resource sustainability. He manages the acquisition of technical and engineering services critical to field-level conservation initiatives, including soil health programs, land easement restoration, and data-driven agricultural planning. His portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil engineering, irrigation infrastructure, and specialized environmental monitoring systems, ensuring that federal conservation goals are met through technically robust, compliant contracting solutions. Carrillo maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide specialized expertise in conservation engineering, land management services, and ecological restoration. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in implementing USDA conservation programs, often requiring site-specific knowledge of agricultural watersheds and federal compliance standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure program continuity and technical fidelity. A strong advocate for small business participation, Carrillo consistently directs over 92% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with USDA’s socioeconomic goals. His contracting patterns prioritize small businesses capable of delivering specialized conservation services, fostering equitable access to federal opportunities for firms with niche capabilities in rural infrastructure and environmental stewardship. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in water supply and irrigation systems (221310) and commercial building construction (236220). He routinely acquires services related to erosion control, conservation grading, drainage systems, and precision agricultural instrumentation, demonstrating deep expertise in engineering solutions that support sustainable land use and climate-resilient farming practices.
