Khanhthong Moody

Khanhthong Moody serves as a key procurement lead within the Construction A/E Team 1 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, overseeing the acquisition of civil infrastructure and facility modernization projects critical to national wildlife refuge and fish hatchery operations. Responsible for managing design-build and construction-related contracts, Moody ensures that procurements align with the agency’s conservation mission by securing services that enhance water system integrity, public access infrastructure, and resilient facility operations. Their acquisitions typically involve heavy civil engineering, site development, and specialized construction services essential to sustaining wildlife habitats and environmental education programs. Moody maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Global Engineering Services Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, ATZ Solutions LLC, and Peak Engineering LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in refuge-scale infrastructure, from structural rehabilitation to hydrologic system upgrades. The working relationships are characterized by collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, performance-based contract management, and a focus on vendors with demonstrated experience in sensitive ecological environments and federal facility compliance. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Moody’s procurement strategy, with 73.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among small, locally-based contractors capable of delivering specialized services in remote or ecologically protected areas. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to expand contractor diversity and regional economic resilience. Moody’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services), indicating deep expertise in site-specific civil works, infrastructure envelope systems, and precision land surveying for conservation projects. Additional activity in commercial building construction and aggregate mining supports the full lifecycle of refuge facility development, from foundational surveying to structural completion and material sourcing.
