Seone Michael Jones

Seone Michael Jones serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the International Boundary and Water Commission, U.S.-Mexico, supporting the agency’s mission to manage binational water infrastructure and environmental compliance along the U.S.-Mexico border. While not the primary contracting officer, Jones plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for operational and maintenance-related procurements. Their work ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and supports the timely delivery of essential services including wastewater treatment, sanitation systems, and border infrastructure upkeep. Jones typically handles task orders and service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and interagency coordination. Jones maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. and ACE Industries, Inc., both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and facility maintenance services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex infrastructure projects requiring compliance with binational environmental standards. The procurement patterns reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in water resource management, civil works, and environmental remediation, often involving performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models. The procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 58% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While women-owned small businesses represent a minor portion of awards, the overall pattern reflects a deliberate effort to maximize socioeconomic opportunities within the border communities served. Set-asides are strategically applied to encourage local and regional vendor engagement, particularly in support of operational continuity and workforce development. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting the agency’s operational focus on wastewater infrastructure, environmental compliance, and facility maintenance. Jones’s expertise lies in procuring technical services for water quality monitoring, automated control systems, and sanitation asset management, ensuring that acquisitions meet both federal standards and binational treaty obligations.
