Samuel Hyslop

Samuel Hyslop serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service under the Department of the Interior, managing acquisitions critical to infrastructure resilience and resource protection across remote park units. His work centers on contracting for water and wastewater system modernization, trail and road infrastructure renewal, and facility maintenance initiatives aligned with climate-adaptive construction standards. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to preserve national natural and cultural heritage through sustainable, mission-critical procurement strategies. Hyslop maintains consistent working relationships with contractors specializing in essential park operations, including WATER RUNNER LLC for water infrastructure, WESTERN MECHANICAL CO INC for mechanical systems, and KIESLER POLICE SUPPLY INC for security and safety equipment. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with niche vendors capable of delivering specialized, field-deployable solutions in challenging environments. His procurement approach prioritizes reliability, technical specificity, and operational readiness, often favoring vendors with proven experience in remote site logistics and federal environmental compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hyslop consistently deploys Total Small Business Set-Asides (52.1%) under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. He also actively utilizes the Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside (7.0%), aligning with the Department of the Interior’s unique mission to support tribal economies. Additional preferences for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms demonstrate a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance community impact. His technical focus lies primarily in water and sewer line construction (NAICS 237110), landscaping services (561730), and related infrastructure support, with secondary emphasis on mechanical systems and communications equipment. This specialization underscores his expertise in procuring field-hardened, environmentally compliant solutions tailored to the operational demands of national parks, ensuring that acquired goods and services meet rigorous durability and sustainability standards.
