Myron Smith

Myron Smith serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure projects essential to preserving and modernizing America’s national parks. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction and utility-related contracts, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to rehabilitate historic structures and upgrade water, sewer, and site development systems across ecologically sensitive and remote locations. He routinely handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on public works and civil engineering services that require technical precision and environmental stewardship. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including HDR Engineering Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, BookCliff Partners, LLC, and Aleut Construction LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in remote-site construction, historic preservation, and utility infrastructure rehabilitation. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with an emphasis on quality control, schedule adherence, and adherence to National Park Service design standards. His contracting patterns show a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, he consistently prioritizes opportunities for qualified small businesses, particularly those with experience in civil construction and environmental compliance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) and NAICS 236116 (New Multifamily Housing Construction), reflecting deep expertise in utility infrastructure upgrades and visitor facility development. He specializes in procuring services involving stormwater management, septic system replacement, access road construction, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings, ensuring all projects meet both functional and preservation standards.
