Natasha Dipietro

Natasha Dipietro serves as a key procurement professional within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing complex acquisitions to support the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. Her work centers on securing engineering, construction, and design services critical to rehabilitating historic structures, upgrading utility systems, and enhancing visitor facilities across ecologically sensitive and remote sites. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with environmental, historic preservation, and public safety standards while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic infrastructure goals. Dipietro maintains consistent working relationships with leading firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically proficient contractors with demonstrated expertise in civil engineering, historic restoration, and utility infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term contractor reliability over low-bid strategies, fostering collaborative, mission-driven vendor relationships. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Only 5.9% of contracts are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on technical capability and scale over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is limited, all awards adhere to full and open competition requirements, with socioeconomic considerations secondary to mission-critical expertise. Dipietro’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in architectural services (541310) and commercial/institutional building construction (236220). She routinely procures services for water and sewer system upgrades, power line installations, structural rehabilitation, and site development, requiring deep technical knowledge in civil engineering, environmental compliance, and historic preservation standards.
