Tiffany C Atchison

Tiffany C. Atchison serves as a Contract Specialist within the 6982AF Central Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical transportation infrastructure projects across federally managed lands, including national parks, forests, and Native American territories. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts for highway, bridge, and civil engineering works. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, durable, and sustainable access to remote federal properties through timely and efficient contracting practices. Atchison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MARTIN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION, MCCULLOUGH CONSTRUCTION INC., WEST COAST CONTRACTORS, INC., S.T. RHODES CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, and SEB ENGINEERING INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and engineering services, often resulting in long-term, performance-based contract executions. Her approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and adherence to federal construction standards, fostering collaborative yet rigorous contract management. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 74.5% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market participation. However, she actively supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 20% of awards to HUBZone-certified firms and approximately 3.6% to 8(a) small businesses, with a small but consistent portion reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and equitable opportunity. Atchison’s portfolio is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting her deep specialization in large-scale civil infrastructure. She also procures engineering services under NAICS 541330, ensuring technical oversight for design, surveying, and construction management. Her expertise lies in complex, federally funded transportation projects requiring stringent safety, environmental, and durability standards.
