Noah Cohen

Noah Cohen serves as a procurement specialist within the Mp-Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, supporting the agency’s mission to manage critical water infrastructure and ensure environmental compliance across federal water projects. He oversees the acquisition of specialized engineering and construction services essential to maintaining hydraulic structures, water quality systems, and habitat restoration initiatives. His portfolio centers on technical procurement requiring rigorous compliance with federal environmental regulations and science-based project delivery, frequently involving complex contracts for mechanical, electrical, and civil infrastructure components. Cohen’s work ensures alignment between operational needs and statutory requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Cohen maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors, including TEPA EC, LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and CDM FEDERAL PROGRAMS CORPORATION, each providing specialized engineering, site development, and federal program management services. He also routinely engages niche vendors such as BERRYESSA GARBAGE SERVICE, INC for waste management support on remote field sites. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms demonstrating proven expertise in water resource infrastructure, environmental remediation, and federal compliance protocols. Cohen exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 87.5% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, ensuring opportunities for disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms in technical and service-based procurements. His approach aligns with the Bureau’s mandate to foster equitable economic development while maintaining high standards of project execution. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333611 (turbine and generator systems), 332911 (industrial valves), and 333924 (industrial material handling equipment), reflecting deep technical expertise in water control systems, hydroelectric components, and mechanical infrastructure. He regularly sources prefabricated wood structures and relay control systems to support remote facility operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in hydromechanical and automation technologies critical to federal water management.
