Phaedra Fuller

Phaedra Fuller serves as a Contract Specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, engineering, and environmental services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. She specializes in complex, multi-year acquisitions for historic rehabilitation, utility system upgrades, and resilient infrastructure projects across ecologically sensitive and remote landscapes, aligning procurement strategies with the NPS’s long-term stewardship goals. Fuller maintains established working relationships with leading engineering and construction firms, including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a consistent pattern of engaging firms with proven expertise in civil engineering, environmental remediation, and historic preservation. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor engagement, rigorous performance monitoring, and technical due diligence to ensure contractor deliverables meet the NPS’s high standards for safety, sustainability, and cultural resource protection. A defining feature of Fuller’s contracting portfolio is her strong commitment to small business participation, with 74% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based contractors, fostering a diverse supplier base capable of delivering specialized services in remote and challenging environments. Her pattern of set-aside usage underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to promote equitable economic participation in public infrastructure projects. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and related specialty trades supporting infrastructure resilience. While her portfolio also includes niche categories such as hay farming and independent artistic services—often tied to cultural interpretation or ecological management—her core expertise centers on civil works, site development, and heritage conservation contracting, reflecting deep technical fluency in federal land management procurement.
