Naureen Ansari

Naureen Ansari serves as a Contract Specialist within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex professional and technical service acquisitions to support federal land management and resource stewardship missions. She specializes in procuring mission-critical services including real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research support, and systems design, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities for infrastructure integrity and public trust asset preservation. Her procurement activities are centered on securing expert technical capabilities through full and open competition, with a focus on delivering high-integrity, mission-enabling solutions across federal landholdings. Ansari maintains longstanding contracting relationships with key vendors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Mathematica Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., and HMC Helicopter Service LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on specialized aviation, data analytics, and technical consulting firms capable of delivering high-risk, high-precision services in remote and environmentally sensitive operational environments. Her working relationships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, rigorous performance monitoring, and a focus on mission-critical service delivery rather than commodity procurement. Ansari’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic alignment with the Directorate’s need for highly specialized, niche technical expertise that is not currently available through small business pools, prioritizing capability over socioeconomic classification in acquisition decisions. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing advanced data modeling, geospatial analysis, aviation systems integration, and scientific computing services. She consistently acquires custom software solutions, analytical platforms, and technical advisory services that support complex land management decision-making, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of information technology and environmental science.
