Richard Dandasan

Richard Dandasan serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s Power and Services division (Pwr Sf/sea MABO), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure operations across national park lands. His role centers on securing environmental consulting services essential to maintaining utility systems, sanitation infrastructure, and facility compliance with federal environmental standards. He executes contracts under the Department of the Interior’s mission to preserve natural and cultural resources, ensuring all procurements align with statutory requirements for sustainability, safety, and regulatory adherence. His portfolio is narrowly focused on technical environmental services, reflecting a strategic emphasis on long-term operational integrity over capital construction. Dandasan maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Apex Global Construction Inc., Specialized Government Sourcing, Inc., KC Home Decor LLC, and Prymol Business Management Inc. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements in environmental assessment, resource management planning, and compliance monitoring services. His procurement approach favors vendors with demonstrated expertise in federal environmental regulations and a proven track record in delivering services across sensitive park ecosystems. These relationships reflect a pattern of repeat business grounded in performance reliability and technical specificity rather than broad-based competition. His contracting practices exhibit a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 50% specifically reserved for women-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs while ensuring service quality through specialized capabilities. There is no evidence of set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a targeted focus on gender-based economic inclusion within the environmental services sector. Dandasan’s procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541620—Environmental Consulting Services—covering environmental impact assessments, wastewater system evaluations, hazardous material management, and ecological monitoring. His acquisitions require deep technical expertise in NPS operational standards, NEPA compliance, and sustainable infrastructure practices, making his role pivotal in advancing the agency’s environmental stewardship mission through highly specialized professional services.
