Micah Holmes

Micah Holmes serves as a key procurement lead within the Construction A/E Team 2 at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, overseeing the acquisition of construction and engineering services critical to maintaining national wildlife refuges, fish hatcheries, and conservation infrastructure. Responsible for managing complex federal contracts under the FAR, Holmes ensures that capital improvements align with ecological preservation goals while adhering to strict environmental and operational standards. Their portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, mechanical systems, and site development projects, often requiring coordination with environmental specialists and civil engineers to support habitat restoration and public access initiatives. Holmes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Legends Construction & Design Inc., Huot Construction and Services, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Advanced Logistic Partners Inc., and Davis Mechanical Systems, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in federal environmental construction, plumbing and HVAC systems, and site infrastructure. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical proficiency in sensitive ecological settings, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and accountability. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Holmes’ procurement strategy, with 70.4% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 3.7% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate focus on socioeconomic equity. While most acquisitions prioritize small business eligibility, a minority are competitively unrestricted, allowing for flexibility in specialized or time-sensitive projects. The technical domain centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in plumbing and HVAC contracting (238220), engineering services (541330), and highway infrastructure (237310). This reflects deep expertise in constructing and rehabilitating facilities that support wildlife management, visitor services, and operational sustainability across federally protected lands.
