Lamont Sawyers

Lamont Sawyers serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, supporting the agency’s mission to restore degraded ecosystems and respond to natural resource damage assessments through science-based environmental remediation. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on ecological restoration, habitat rehabilitation, and regulatory compliance, ensuring contracts align with federal environmental statutes and NRDA protocols. His work spans the full lifecycle of procurement—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing on technical services that advance conservation outcomes and ecological resilience. Sawyers maintains consistent partnerships with specialized environmental contractors including EarthBalance Corporation, Brice Engineering, LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., all of which provide critical field-based remediation, ecological monitoring, and habitat design services. He also collaborates with research institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to integrate scientific innovation into restoration practices. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based engagements with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in ecological engineering and environmental consulting, fostering reliable, mission-aligned vendor relationships. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides and 25% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not favor specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding participation among qualified environmental service providers. Sawyers’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115112 (soil preparation and planting) and 115310 (forestry support activities), reflecting deep expertise in habitat restoration and land management. He also regularly procures environmental consulting services under 541620 and specialized equipment tied to ecological monitoring and transportation logistics, underscoring a technical domain grounded in ecological science, field implementation, and regulatory compliance.
