He oversees the acquisition of technical services essential to water resource management, ecological resilience, and land stewardship, ensuring alignment with federal engineering standards and regulatory compliance. His acquisitions typically involve engineering studies, geospatial analysis, environmental consulting, and facility maintenance services, all tailored to sustain aging infrastructure and enhance navigational ecosystems across the Mississippi River basin and surrounding regions. Crawford maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Fugro USA Land, Inc., Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., NV5 Geospatial, Inc., Aero-Graphics Inc., and Surveying and Mapping, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in geospatial surveying, environmental assessment, and infrastructure mapping. His contracting approach emphasizes technical precision and long-term vendor reliability, often re-engaging contractors with demonstrated success in complex, multi-phase environmental projects requiring regulatory coordination and data integrity. A strong advocate for small business participation, Crawford consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 92% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and expand the pool of qualified vendors capable of delivering high-quality environmental and engineering services. His contracting patterns show minimal use of unrestricted awards, underscoring a robust commitment to socioeconomic goals and inclusive procurement practices.
