Kyle Gonynor

Kyle Gonynor serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing complex construction and civil engineering acquisitions critical to preserving and modernizing the nation’s park infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from needs assessment through award and performance oversight—he specializes in large-scale, mission-critical projects involving historic preservation, utility system upgrades, and facility rehabilitation across ecologically sensitive and remote locations. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with the NPS’s long-term infrastructure resilience goals, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and environmental regulations. Gonynor maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of top-tier engineering and construction firms, including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil engineering, institutional building construction, and sustainable infrastructure design. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term contractor accountability to ensure project success in challenging field environments. Gonynor’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified, technically capable vendors rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through designated programs, his awards remain accessible to all eligible contractors, aligning with NPS’s mandate for technical excellence over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing rehabilitation of historic structures, water and sewer system modernization, road and trail construction, and utility infrastructure upgrades. Gonynor’s expertise centers on complex, multi-disciplinary projects requiring specialized knowledge in preservation techniques, geotechnical engineering, and environmental compliance, ensuring infrastructure integrity in protected landscapes.
