Tanya Wirth

Tanya Wirth serves as a key procurement professional within the Lower Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining water infrastructure and environmental compliance across arid region operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting facility maintenance, land management, and operational resilience, with a focus on services that ensure the reliable function of water delivery systems, dams, and associated infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize aging assets while upholding environmental standards, requiring precise alignment with federal contracting regulations and technical specifications for civil works and ecological restoration projects. Wirth maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including KWR Construction Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and GreenHeart Farms, Inc., among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms experienced in site development, land stewardship, and specialized industrial maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes proven performance, local operational capacity, and technical competency in delivering services under complex regulatory frameworks, often involving environmental permitting and water rights compliance. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 37% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business eligibility and fosters opportunities for firms certified under socioeconomic programs, demonstrating alignment with federal goals for equitable contracting. Wirth’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to landscaping services, commercial and industrial machinery repair, environmental conservation organizations, and industrial laundering. These reflect the agency’s need for ongoing maintenance of irrigation infrastructure, ecological habitat management, and facility support services in remote, arid environments. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-critical services that bridge civil engineering, environmental stewardship, and operational sustainability.
