Rebecca Thomson

Rebecca Thomson supports the Bureau of Reclamation at the Denver Federal Center in managing critical procurement initiatives tied to water infrastructure modernization and environmental stewardship across the western United States. She oversees the acquisition of heavy civil engineering services, hydrologic monitoring systems, and operational support contracts essential to maintaining hydraulic structures, enhancing data collection networks, and advancing ecosystem restoration efforts. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to ensure reliable water resource management through technically complex, mission-critical acquisitions that demand precision in engineering and environmental compliance. Thomson maintains established working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for large-scale civil engineering support, BenchLab LLC for environmental analytical services, and Frontier Precision Inc. for geospatial and instrumentation solutions. She also collaborates with BMACK Interpreting L.L.C. and Royal Media Network, Inc. to ensure effective communication and public engagement around water resource projects. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms demonstrating proven expertise in federal water infrastructure domains. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 40% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity in vendor selection. While no set-aside preferences are applied to the remaining 60%, her portfolio consistently includes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and other qualified small entities, aligning with federal goals for inclusive contracting. Thomson’s primary focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She also procures specialized equipment under 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing) and supports aquatic habitat programs through 112511 (Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries), demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to water resource management that integrates civil engineering, environmental science, and operational infrastructure.
