Ronald Gamo

Ron Gamo serves as the primary Point of Contact for the Mp-Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, facilitating the execution of mission-critical water infrastructure and environmental compliance acquisitions. He plays a central role in coordinating procurement activities that support the agency’s mandate to sustain water supply reliability, protect aquatic ecosystems, and maintain hydraulic structures through technical oversight. His responsibilities include managing the lifecycle of contracts for construction, remediation, and operational support services, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and environmental stewardship goals. He works closely with project engineers, environmental specialists, and field teams to translate technical requirements into solicitation language and vendor engagement strategies. Gamo maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors, including TEPA EC, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CDM Federal Programs Corporation, all of whom provide specialized expertise in civil engineering and federal project delivery. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms experienced in complex water resource infrastructure. He also engages a network of smaller vendors for niche services such as waste management and security systems, ensuring responsive support across diverse operational needs. His contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with over half of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and specialized capabilities of small firms in delivering technical services. Gamo’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in remediation services (562910) and water infrastructure (237110). His expertise lies in acquiring construction, environmental restoration, and facility support services that directly enable the Bureau’s mission to manage federal water projects with scientific rigor and regulatory compliance.
