Kyle Heid

Kyle Heid serves as a procurement specialist within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division (12FPAC) under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he facilitates technical and engineering acquisitions critical to national land conservation and soil health initiatives. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting field-level conservation programs, land easement restoration, and data-driven agricultural decision systems, with a focus on instrumentation, remote sensing, and geospatial services. His acquisitions enable the deployment of precision agriculture tools and environmental monitoring systems essential to USDA’s mission of sustainable land management. Heid maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide specialized technical services in environmental monitoring, conservation planning, and rural infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging performance-based requirements and task-order mechanisms to ensure adaptive, mission-critical deliverables. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in agricultural science and environmental engineering. Heid demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns prioritize broad small business inclusion without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a strategic focus on capacity-building within the general small business community rather than targeted socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. His primary NAICS focus lies in 334513 for industrial measurement and control instrumentation, reflecting a heavy emphasis on environmental sensors, soil monitoring devices, and precision agriculture hardware. He also regularly procures satellite telecommunications services under 517410 to support remote data collection and real-time analytics for conservation planning, underscoring his technical expertise in integrating geospatial and telemetry systems into federal land management operations.
