Kristin O'Neil

Kristin O’Neil serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s Intermountain Region (140P12), overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining and enhancing recreational infrastructure and environmental stewardship across protected lands in the Intermountain West. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, transportation, and support services contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to preserve natural and cultural resources while ensuring safe, accessible public facilities. Her work primarily involves soliciting and administering contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for capital improvement projects, including visitor center construction, transit systems, and utility upgrades, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards and sustainability goals. O’Neil maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors such as LIGHTING, ACCESSORY, & WARNING SYSTEMS, LLC, and CE SOLUTION PLUS CORP., who deliver mission-critical infrastructure components including safety signage, transit systems, and facility maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and long-term operational reliability, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent NPS engineering and environmental compliance requirements. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in federal public works and resource-sensitive environments. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards issued under open competition and the remainder distributed across HUBZone, total small business, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden economic opportunity while ensuring competitive, capable vendor pools for complex infrastructure needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction) and 485113 (bus and motor vehicle transit systems), with supplementary activity in support services and solid waste collection. She specializes in acquiring turnkey construction solutions, transit fleet modernization, and facility maintenance systems tailored to the unique operational demands of national park environments.
