Nicholas Lewicki

Nicholas Lewicki serves as the primary contracting professional within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate of the Department of the Interior, overseeing the acquisition of specialized professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting real estate valuation, aviation logistics, scientific research, and infrastructure systems design, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain public trust assets through expert-led technical solutions. His procurement activities are strategically focused on securing high-integrity, mission-critical services that enable operational continuity across federal landholdings. Lewicki maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Phoenix Air Group, Inc., Papillon Airways Inc., Brainerd Helicopters, Inc., HMC Helicopter Service LLC, and Mathematica Inc. These partnerships reflect a reliance on niche aviation, engineering, and analytical service providers with proven capabilities in federal environmental and logistical operations. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors possessing specialized technical expertise, often requiring security clearances, FAA compliance, or scientific certification. Lewicki’s procurement approach reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission readiness and specialized expertise over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His contracting decisions are driven by operational necessity and the unique demands of federal land management, rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary NAICS focus areas include 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 315990 (Apparel Accessories Manufacturing), alongside 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 541211 (CPA Services). These reflect a broad yet technically grounded acquisition portfolio spanning aviation support systems, infrastructure electrical integration, specialized equipment, security infrastructure, and financial audit services—all essential to sustaining the Department’s operational and compliance obligations.
