Terry Lang

Terry Lang serves as a Contract Specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, where they manage the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure projects essential to preserving America’s national parks. Responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts, Terry ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to rehabilitate historic structures, modernize visitor facilities, and restore utility systems in ecologically sensitive and remote locations. Their portfolio primarily encompasses construction, environmental restoration, and site development services, requiring deep familiarity with complex federal contracting frameworks and interagency coordination. Terry maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., HDR Engineering Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in federal environmental and historic preservation projects. Terry’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous technical evaluation, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure high-quality outcomes on mission-critical infrastructure. In alignment with federal socioeconomic goals, Terry consistently prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, accounting for one-third of all awards, while the majority of acquisitions remain open to full and open competition. This balanced strategy supports veteran-owned enterprises without compromising competition or technical capability, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to equitable small business participation within the federal contracting ecosystem. Terry’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating), and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), reflecting expertise in historic preservation construction, landscape restoration, and forestry support services. Their work requires nuanced understanding of environmental compliance, sustainable building practices, and site-specific ecological constraints, ensuring that all acquisitions align with the National Park Service’s stewardship mandate.
