Lisa Rodriguez

Lisa Rodriguez serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, supporting the agency’s mission to conserve and restore vital fish, wildlife, and habitat ecosystems. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on environmental stewardship, including ecological consulting, land management services, and specialized equipment procurement. Her work directly enables field operations across national wildlife refuges by ensuring timely access to technical expertise and mission-critical resources. Rodriguez handles competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 14, often coordinating with biologists and resource managers to align procurement with scientific and conservation priorities. Her primary contractor relationships include FEDERAL CONTRACTS LLC, GRASSLAND MANAGEMENT, LLC, and HAWAII RESOURCE GROUP LLC, firms known for delivering habitat restoration, invasive species control, and fuel reduction services. She also engages with GIVING TREE CAPITAL, LLC and WORKWEAR OUTFITTERS, LLC for logistical and protective equipment support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated field experience in ecological operations and public land management, often requiring site-specific knowledge and environmental compliance expertise. Rodriguez’s contracting patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 81.4% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 18.6% of acquisitions to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach balances efficiency with broad market engagement, ensuring competitive rigor while supporting capacity-building among qualified small firms. Her technical procurement focus centers on NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), where she secures ecological assessments, wildlife monitoring, and habitat planning. Additional categories include 115112 (Soil Preparation and Cultivating) for restoration work and niche manufacturing sectors like 336212 and 336612 for specialized transportation and field equipment. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of environmental science and operational logistics, ensuring procurements align with ecological outcomes and agency-wide conservation goals.
