Renee Babineau

Renee Babineau supports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Sat Team 2 FWS in managing critical procurement activities aligned with habitat conservation, infrastructure resilience, and scientific operational readiness. She oversees acquisitions for field-based maintenance, environmental monitoring equipment, and ecological infrastructure, ensuring alignment with federal land management priorities. Her role involves executing full-cycle contracting processes for technical services and specialized equipment essential to refuge operations, wildlife monitoring, and invasive species control, directly enabling the agency’s mission to sustain and restore natural ecosystems across federal lands. Babineau maintains consistent partnerships with key vendors including Coast Machinery LLC, Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., and John Deere Shared Services, LLC, reflecting a reliance on heavy equipment maintenance, precision machinery, and durable field infrastructure. She also collaborates with environmental service providers such as American Material Handling, Inc. and Life Technologies Corporation, indicating a blend of logistics, laboratory, and ecological support contracting. Her procurement patterns favor established vendors with proven capability in ruggedized equipment and conservation-grade technology, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a nearly balanced approach to small business participation, with 49.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of delivering mission-critical field services and equipment. Babineau’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561730 (landscaping and habitat restoration services), 811310 (commercial machinery repair), and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrumentation), underscoring expertise in ecological maintenance, equipment sustainment, and environmental data collection systems. She routinely acquires field-deployed sensors, habitat modification tools, and laboratory-grade analytical instruments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with conservation science infrastructure and operational logistics in remote federal wildlife areas.
