Stacey Rickard

Stacey Rickard serves as a key procurement professional within the National Park Service’s NCR Regional Contracting Office, overseeing acquisitions critical to preserving and maintaining the cultural and natural resources of the National Capital Region. Responsible for managing facility operations and infrastructure projects, she handles a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission of adaptive reuse, environmental stewardship, and visitor experience enhancement. Her acquisitions primarily support the upkeep of historic structures, park utilities, and public infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with federal construction standards and sustainability requirements under FAR and NPS-specific guidelines. Rickard maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including Galicia Construction Corp. and Mobile Techs LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in historic preservation and site-specific technical services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on trusted partners capable of executing complex, mission-critical work under stringent regulatory and environmental constraints, often involving coordination with federal historic preservation offices and environmental compliance teams. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remaining half remain open to all competitors. This approach ensures robust competition while actively fostering opportunities for small businesses to contribute to high-impact public infrastructure projects in the National Capital Region. Rickard’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing renovations of historic park buildings and visitor centers, and NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), supporting access roads and pedestrian infrastructure within park boundaries. Her technical expertise centers on construction management, historic rehabilitation, and civil works projects requiring compliance with Section 106 review, NEPA, and NPS Operational Policies, ensuring that all acquisitions align with preservation goals and public safety standards.
