Michael Hodahkwen

Michael Hodahkwen serves as a key procurement lead within the Mp-Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, overseeing the acquisition of technical and environmental services critical to federal water infrastructure management. Responsible for managing competitive contracting processes under FAR Part 15, he ensures compliance with environmental regulations and technical standards while supporting the agency’s mission to sustain water supply reliability and protect aquatic ecosystems. His portfolio primarily includes service-based acquisitions in environmental consulting, site remediation, and infrastructure maintenance, with a strong emphasis on science-driven decision-making and regulatory adherence. Hodahkwen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including TEPA EC, LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and CDM FEDERAL PROGRAMS CORPORATION, which provide specialized environmental engineering, site preparation, and federal program support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in water resource management, while also engaging smaller firms for niche remediation and testing services. He fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships grounded in technical rigor and compliance with federal environmental protocols. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the remainder awarded through full and open competition. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small business participation without compromising technical requirements or project outcomes. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 562910 (Remediation Services), 238910 (Site Preparation), 238160 (Roofing), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories), reflecting deep expertise in water infrastructure maintenance, ecological restoration, and environmental compliance. He routinely procures services related to water quality monitoring, habitat rehabilitation, hydraulic structure upkeep, and laboratory analysis of environmental samples, ensuring that all acquisitions align with the Bureau’s science-based operational priorities.
