Monica A. McKensey serves as a Contract Specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, where she manages the full lifecycle of complex infrastructure acquisition programs. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to preserve historic structures, modernize visitor facilities, and rehabilitate critical utility systems across ecologically sensitive and remote park lands. She specializes in procuring construction, engineering, and technical services through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with a focus on large-scale civil works and environmental infrastructure projects.

McKensey maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading infrastructure firms including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., HDR Engineering Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, multi-disciplinary contractors capable of delivering complex civil engineering, site development, and historic rehabilitation services across diverse geographic and ecological contexts. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, past performance, and capacity to manage challenging field conditions, fostering collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships. McKensey’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her procurement strategy prioritizes technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the highest standards of infrastructure resilience and preservation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), accounting for over half of her activity, followed by 236116 (New Multifamily Housing Construction), 541715 (Research and Development in Physical Sciences), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors).
