Megan Swift

Megan Swift serves as the primary contracting lead for the Upper Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, where she manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to water infrastructure modernization, environmental stewardship, and civil engineering operations. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal regulations and the agency’s mission to sustain water resources across the Upper Colorado River Basin. She routinely handles complex engineering, environmental, and operational service contracts requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance. Swift maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC, SOUTHWEST WATER DESIGN, L.L.C., and RIVERRESTORATION.ORG, LLC, which provide specialized water resource engineering, ecological restoration, and hydraulic structure services. She also engages PACIFIC OVERHEAD CRANE SERVICES INC. and ROBINS CONSTRUCTION, LLLP for heavy infrastructure and mechanical system installations. These partnerships reflect a pattern of long-term collaboration with firms possessing domain-specific expertise in water infrastructure and environmental compliance, often involving task-order or IDIQ contract vehicles. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside preferences are applied to the majority of contracts, she consistently facilitates opportunities for small businesses in engineering, environmental, and technical services, aligning with the Bureau’s broader inclusion objectives. Swift’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes for engineering services, analytical laboratory instrumentation, and translation services, reflecting the agency’s need for hydrologic data analysis, environmental monitoring equipment, and multilingual documentation support. Her portfolio also includes niche procurements in communications equipment and facility operations, underscoring her ability to manage interdisciplinary requirements across civil engineering and ecological resilience domains.
