Philip D Reimnitz

Philip D. Reimnitz serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division, supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s mission to advance land conservation and rural resource planning. He manages a diverse portfolio of technical and engineering service acquisitions, including real estate appraisals, civil engineering construction, and specialized analytical instrumentation procurement. His work directly enables field-level conservation initiatives, soil health assessments, and data-driven land management decisions by securing expert services critical to federal conservation programs and easement restoration efforts. Reimnitz maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide specialized technical and field-based services aligned with agricultural conservation objectives. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, often re-engaging firms with proven expertise in land assessment, conservation planning, and environmental data collection. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with demonstrated capacity in delivering precise, mission-critical services under complex regulatory frameworks. A strong advocate for small business participation, Reimnitz consistently structures procurements to maximize small business set-asides, with approximately 65% of his awards designated under FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, prioritizing small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services in rural and conservation-sensitive environments. His primary NAICS focus areas include 531320 (Real Estate Appraisers) for land valuation and easement compliance, 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) for conservation infrastructure, and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) for precision soil and water testing equipment. These categories underscore his technical expertise in procuring services and tools that support scientific rigor, regulatory compliance, and sustainable land use practices across USDA’s conservation programs.
