Shannon Triana serves as a Contracting Officer within the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (140D04) of the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, where she manages the acquisition of specialized professional and technical services critical to federal land management and resource stewardship. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurements in aviation logistics, real estate valuation, scientific research support, and systems design, ensuring the agency maintains operational integrity across its public trust assets. Triana executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR Part 15, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and mission-aligned technical requirements to support sustainable land and infrastructure management. Triana maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., PAPILLON AIRWAYS INC., BRAINERD HELICOPTERS, INC., HMC HELICOPTER SERVICE LLC, and MATHEMATICA INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche service providers with proven expertise in aviation operations, data analytics, and environmental consulting. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging past performance and technical capability evaluations to ensure mission-critical continuity and operational reliability.
