Patricia J. Goree serves as a Contract Specialist for the 693C73 Eastern Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical transportation infrastructure projects on federally managed lands. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering safe, resilient highway, bridge, and roadway systems that support public access and environmental stewardship. She primarily handles construction and engineering service acquisitions under the FAR, with a focus on competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts for complex civil works. Goree maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including ESTES BROS. CONST. INC., BLUEGRASS CONTRACTING CORP, BRYANT’S LAND AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIES, INC., ECLIPSE COMPANIES, LLC, and ASPEN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in heavy highway construction and public right-of-way management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous pre-award evaluations, and post-award oversight to ensure quality and compliance on high-stakes infrastructure projects. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 94.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation remains limited, with only 3.3% of awards designated as 8(a) competed and 1.3% under HUBZone criteria; total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 account for just 0.7%. This pattern reflects the technical complexity and scale of projects requiring specialized construction capabilities typically found in larger, established firms. Goree’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), accounting for 92.7% of her acquisitions. She also procures limited engineering services under NAICS 541330 and occasional architectural or management consulting support. Her technical expertise lies in civil infrastructure delivery, particularly in national forest and public land environments, where environmental constraints, right-of-way challenges, and safety standards require precise contract administration and risk mitigation.
