Sherry Heibeck serves as the primary procurement lead for the Mp-Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, where she manages a diverse portfolio of technical and environmental contracts critical to federal water infrastructure projects. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable water resource management. She routinely oversees the solicitation and award of contracts for environmental monitoring, geospatial data collection, and laboratory testing services, aligning procurement actions with scientific and ecological objectives. Her work directly supports the planning, maintenance, and regulatory oversight of hydraulic structures and aquatic ecosystems across the region. Heibeck maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including TEPA EC, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CDM Federal Programs Corporation, all of which provide specialized engineering, environmental consulting, and field services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in water resource management, habitat restoration, and regulatory compliance. She fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships that emphasize technical excellence, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes. A strong advocate for small business participation, Heibeck consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over two-thirds of her awards designated for small businesses. Her procurement strategy actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion, ensuring that small firms have equitable access to opportunities in environmental science and infrastructure support. This commitment aligns with broader Bureau of Reclamation goals to diversify the contractor base and strengthen regional economic resilience. Her technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 541360 (Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services), 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), reflecting deep expertise in hydrologic data collection, water quality analysis, and environmental impact assessment. She procures specialized services including remote sensing, sediment sampling, and ecological monitoring—critical components for science-based decision-making in federal water projects.
