Sherry Packard

Sherry Packard serves as a key procurement lead within the National Park Service’s Intermountain Region (140P12), overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and environmental support services essential to maintaining public access and resource preservation across protected lands. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and utility-related contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain natural and cultural resources. Her acquisitions typically involve civil works, facility maintenance, and utility system upgrades, requiring technical expertise in construction standards, environmental mitigation, and public works logistics. Packard maintains consistent working relationships with LIGHTING, ACCESSORY, & WARNING SYSTEMS, LLC, and CE SOLUTION PLUS CORP., both of which provide specialized infrastructure solutions including signage, lighting, and compliance systems for park facilities. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging niche contractors with proven capabilities in safety-critical and environmentally sensitive installations, often under time-sensitive conditions to support seasonal visitor operations. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, regulatory alignment, and performance-based outcomes. Her contracting profile shows a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while 25% are reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the construction and environmental services sectors. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring targeted socioeconomic opportunities that align with the region’s operational needs and workforce development goals. Packard’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She routinely procures civil infrastructure, wastewater systems, visitor center renovations, and utility upgrades, requiring deep familiarity with federal construction codes, environmental permitting, and sustainable design standards for federally managed lands.
