Malissa Crofoot

Malissa Crofoot serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of professional, technical, and construction-related services critical to preserving and modernizing the nation’s park infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on historic preservation, utility system upgrades, and ecological site restoration, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable stewardship. Her work centers on complex, mission-critical procurements that require interdisciplinary expertise, often involving environmental engineering, architectural design, and civil construction services across remote and sensitive landscapes. Crofoot maintains longstanding relationships with leading 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 experience in federal environmental and infrastructure projects, particularly those capable of delivering integrated solutions for aging water, sewer, and structural systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and specialized domain knowledge. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 67.9% of awards issued without set-aside designation, reflecting the complexity and scale of projects requiring large-capacity contractors. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 32.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both capability and socioeconomic inclusion without relying on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing environmental consulting, historic preservation planning, and ecological restoration. She also regularly procures architectural services (541310), site development (238290), and land management services (115112), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to maintaining the National Park Service’s vast and ecologically diverse infrastructure portfolio.
