Ryan S. McClimon

Ryan S. McClimon serves as a Procurement Analyst for the W071 Endist Portland under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that sustain critical civil infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of professional services contracts supporting hydropower operations, flood control systems, and navigational infrastructure maintenance. McClimon specializes in technical procurement for engineering, environmental compliance, and facility sustainment, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and mission-critical readiness objectives. He works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define requirements, assess vendor capabilities, and facilitate compliant award decisions that uphold operational integrity. McClimon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AECOM B&V PORTLAND AE JV, CORNFORTH-GANNETT FLEMING, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC., and TETRA TECH, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil engineering, environmental remediation, and water resource management. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, leveraging long-term vendor engagement to ensure technical reliability and seamless project execution across multi-year initiatives. While the majority of his acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted as full and open competitions without set-asides, McClimon consistently reserves 12.5% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. He prioritizes socioeconomic compliance without compromising technical rigor, ensuring small firms compete on equal footing for projects requiring specialized engineering and scientific services. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing hydrological modeling, structural assessments, environmental permitting, and infrastructure lifecycle management. McClimon’s domain expertise lies in procuring high-stakes technical services that support federal waterway resilience, making him a key steward of mission-critical civil engineering capabilities within the Army’s Pacific Northwest footprint.
