Justine Pasiecnik serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Pacific Southwest Regional Office, responsible for managing acquisition activities that support critical habitat restoration and infrastructure resilience across federal wildlife refuges. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to sustain ecological integrity through the construction and rehabilitation of refuge facilities, access roads, water systems, and boardwalks. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts under the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS code, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with climate adaptation and habitat connectivity goals. Her acquisitions are primarily design-build and construction services requiring environmental compliance, permitting coordination, and adherence to federal conservation standards. Pasiecnik collaborates with a network of qualified contractors specializing in ecological construction, environmental remediation, and low-impact infrastructure development. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, her procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with firms possessing expertise in sensitive land construction, wetland mitigation, and sustainable materials. She fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of navigating complex regulatory environments, including Endangered Species Act and NEPA requirements, ensuring projects meet both ecological and operational objectives. She maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all eligible acquisitions, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic equity in federal contracting. All contracts are structured under FAR 19.5 to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses, with a strong emphasis on local and regionally based firms familiar with western U.S. ecosystems. This approach strengthens community resilience and ensures contracting dollars directly benefit underserved entrepreneurs in the Pacific Southwest. Her primary technical focus is NAICS 236220, encompassing commercial and institutional building construction tailored to refuge infrastructure. She specializes in procuring projects involving environmentally sensitive site work, erosion control, ADA-compliant access structures, and climate-resilient design. Her expertise lies in aligning construction scope with conservation outcomes, ensuring that every procurement enhances both public access and ecological function.
