Jeffery Hepp

Jeffery Hepp serves as a key procurement professional within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of engineering, construction, and environmental services critical to the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on the rehabilitation of historic structures, upgrades to water and sewer systems, and the resilient development of visitor facilities in ecologically sensitive and remote locations. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain the nation’s cultural and natural heritage through strategic, mission-aligned contracting. Hepp typically handles complex, multi-year acquisitions requiring technical expertise in civil engineering, architectural restoration, and environmental compliance. Hepp maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including HDR Engineering Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, all of whom provide specialized capabilities in infrastructure design, construction management, and site development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in federal historic preservation standards and complex field operations. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to NPS-specific design and environmental protocols. Hepp’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This pattern indicates a focus on technical merit and contractor capacity over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the specialized nature of the work and the limited pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the National Park Service’s stringent preservation and environmental standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with additional emphasis on architectural services, environmental consulting, and specialized construction trades such as glass and glazing. Hepp’s expertise centers on acquiring integrated solutions for infrastructure resilience, historic restoration, and utility modernization within protected lands.
