Ryan Palsgrove

Ryan Palsgrove serves as the primary contracting professional for the Federal Aviation Administration’s 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services, where he manages mission-critical procurements to sustain and modernize the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure. He oversees the acquisition of construction, facility maintenance, and technical services essential to the operational readiness of Air Traffic Control Towers and Flight Standard District Offices. His portfolio emphasizes infrastructure resilience and regulatory compliance, with a focus on procurement strategies that align with FAA safety and efficiency mandates. Palsgrove handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring coordination across engineering, environmental, and safety disciplines to ensure seamless facility operations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, BRICE TERRA LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering specialized construction, environmental remediation, and facility management services under stringent federal aviation standards. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, with a track record of fostering long-term vendor collaboration through clear scope definition and rigorous oversight. Palsgrove demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms, particularly those with expertise in aviation infrastructure support. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a dual emphasis on physical infrastructure upgrades and mission-critical software systems supporting air traffic control operations. He routinely procures services related to utility integration, site development, and custom software solutions for facility management systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the intersection of civil engineering and aviation IT infrastructure.
