Patty Payne

Patty Payne serves as the primary procurement lead for the National Park Service’s Pwr GOGA(86000) office, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to preserving the nation’s cultural and natural heritage. Her role centers on managing contracts that ensure the resilience and functionality of park facilities, with a focus on utilities, waste management, and visitor service systems. She handles complex, mission-critical procurements under FAR Part 19 and other socioeconomic frameworks, ensuring compliance with federal environmental and accessibility standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s long-term infrastructure modernization goals. Payne maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION and AMPLE ELECTRIC INC, reflecting a blend of specialized technical and utility services. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in environmental compliance, electrical systems, and facility maintenance, often engaging them through competitive sealed bidding and task order contracts under indefinite-delivery vehicles. These partnerships are characterized by long-term operational reliability rather than transactional engagements, underscoring her focus on sustained service delivery across remote and high-priority park units. A strong advocate for small business participation, Payne consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, with 78.6% of her awards reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to empower local and regional firms, particularly those qualified under HUBZone and SDVOSB programs, aligning with the National Park Service’s commitment to equitable economic opportunity and community engagement in underserved areas. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), and 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), demonstrating deep expertise in environmental infrastructure, non-hazardous waste management, and decentralized utility systems. She procures specialized services that maintain ecological integrity and public safety, requiring technical knowledge in ANSI, EPA, and NPS-specific operational standards.
