Mandy Ashmore

Mandy Ashmore serves as a key procurement lead within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04), supporting the Department of the Interior’s mission to sustain federal land management and public trust assets through specialized technical and professional services. She manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support contracts, primarily focused on commercial and institutional building construction, ensuring alignment with federal land use, resource stewardship, and aviation logistics requirements. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities by securing expert contractors capable of delivering high-integrity construction and facility services across complex federal landholdings. Ashmore maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., HMC Helicopter Service LLC, Papillon Airways Inc., and Mathematica Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche service providers with proven capabilities in aviation logistics, real estate support, and technical systems design. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical precision, and mission-critical performance, often engaging firms with deep domain expertise in federal land management environments rather than broad-based service providers. Her procurement patterns show a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified technical performers regardless of business size or certification status, aligning with the high-stakes nature of infrastructure and aviation support missions requiring specialized credentials and operational readiness. The primary NAICS classification under her purview is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, indicating a sharp focus on facility upgrades, maintenance, and construction projects supporting federal land management infrastructure. She procures services related to structural integrity, site development, and facility modernization tailored to the unique demands of remote and environmentally sensitive federal properties, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-aligned construction contracting.
