Mildred Stewart

Mildred Stewart serves as a key procurement lead within the National Operations Center under the Bureau of Land Management, managing acquisitions that support federal land infrastructure, facility management, and operational sustainability. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions for nonresidential real property leasing and related support services, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to maintain public land access, preserve natural resources, and enable compliant land-use operations. Her portfolio centers on long-term facility planning and maintenance contracts, with a focus on securing leased spaces and associated services critical to field operations across federal public lands. Stewart maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., DJ&A, P.C., Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., Wasatch West Contracting LLC, and Alvin K. Spears, all of whom provide specialized engineering, environmental, and facility management services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement and performance-based contract execution, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federal land operations, infrastructure compliance, and environmental stewardship. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical competence, and operational continuity over competitive bidding alone. Stewart’s procurement activity reflects a strict preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This pattern indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and past performance rather than socioeconomic designations, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, mission-critical services where certified small business participation is not a determining factor. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in securing leased commercial and operational facilities for field offices, ranger stations, and maintenance hubs. She procures turnkey real property solutions, including utilities, security, and facility maintenance services, demonstrating specialized knowledge in federal real estate leasing, space planning, and infrastructure support for remote public land operations.
