Malia Hanula

Malia Hanula serves as a key procurement lead within the National Operations Center of the Bureau of Land Management, overseeing the acquisition of real estate and facility management services critical to federal land stewardship. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on nonresidential property leasing, infrastructure support, and operational facility maintenance, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain public lands through compliant, efficient, and environmentally responsible resource management. Her acquisitions directly enable field operations, visitor access, and regulatory compliance by securing the physical infrastructure necessary for land management activities. Hanula maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., DJ&A, P.C., Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., Wasatch West Contracting LLC, and Alvin K. Spears, reflecting a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental compliance, engineering services, and facility operations. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical proficiency, particularly in areas requiring coordination with federal land use regulations and natural resource protection standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while maintaining a targeted 16.7% commitment to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a balanced approach—favoring broad market access while still actively supporting small business participation through socioeconomic programs when aligned with operational needs and competition thresholds. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120, the leasing of nonresidential buildings, which accounts for 92.5% of her activity. This underscores her specialization in securing office spaces, field stations, maintenance facilities, and administrative centers on federal lands. Secondary activity in NAICS 531110 and 531190 further supports housing and ancillary property needs for remote operations. Her expertise centers on real estate acquisition for public land management, ensuring facilities meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and environmental sustainability.
