Stormy Gallagher

Stormy Gallagher serves as the primary contracting lead for the DSC Contracting Services Division within the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure modernization and technical services essential to preserving America’s national parks. Responsible for managing complex procurements across engineering, IT, and construction domains, Gallagher ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to sustain historic structures, upgrade utility systems, and enhance visitor facilities in ecologically sensitive environments. Their portfolio is dominated by technical and professional services contracts requiring specialized expertise in digital infrastructure and civil engineering. Gallagher maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of high-capacity contractors including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in federal environmental and historic preservation projects, often involving multi-disciplinary teams capable of delivering integrated solutions for water systems, data centers, and building rehabilitation. The working relationship is characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract management, favoring vendors with demonstrated technical excellence and regulatory compliance. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98.5% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a prioritization of technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is minimal at 1.5%, it is strategically directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate effort to include qualified small firms where competitive capability exists. The procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 518210, reflecting a primary need for computing infrastructure, data processing, and web hosting services to support park operations and visitor management systems. Secondary emphasis on architectural and engineering services supports rehabilitation and construction projects, demonstrating deep expertise in technical domains critical to maintaining federal heritage assets under challenging environmental conditions.
