Jeff Pearson

Jeff Pearson serves as a Contracting Officer within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) under the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where he manages the acquisition of specialized professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. His portfolio encompasses high-stakes procurements in real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research support, and systems design—services essential to maintaining the integrity of public landholdings and trust assets. Pearson operates within a mission-driven framework that prioritizes technical excellence and operational continuity, ensuring contracts align with strategic goals for modernizing federal infrastructure and data-driven land management. He maintains enduring relationships with a select group of prime contractors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Mathematica Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., and HMC Helicopter Service LLC, all of which provide mission-critical aviation, analytical, and technical support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor partnerships, and rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering reliable delivery of complex, mission-essential capabilities. Pearson’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the highest-caliber providers in niche technical domains. While small business participation is not formally structured through set-asides, his awards remain open to all qualified vendors under FAR Part 15 procedures. His primary NAICS focus areas—541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 519130 (Other Information Services)—highlight a strong emphasis on analytical, data-driven, and administrative support services. He routinely procures expert consulting, software development, data analytics, and operational support systems tailored to the unique demands of federal land and resource management.
