Timothy Burger

Timothy Burger serves as the primary contracting lead for the DSC Contracting Services Division within the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of infrastructure modernization and preservation services across America’s protected lands. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and architectural contracts aimed at rehabilitating historic structures, upgrading utility systems, and enhancing visitor facilities in ecologically sensitive and remote environments. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain the integrity of national park infrastructure while ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and environmental stewardship standards. Burger maintains consistent partnerships with leading firms such as HDR Engineering Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, who provide specialized expertise in civil engineering, building construction, and site development. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven experience in federal preservation projects, often engaging these firms through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under simplified acquisition procedures. He prioritizes vendors with demonstrated capability in working within constrained, environmentally regulated sites. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Burger demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, with approximately 11.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and an additional 2.5% reserved for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, reflecting the Department of the Interior’s unique socioeconomic priorities. He regularly incorporates Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, aligning with federal goals to expand opportunities for veteran-owned firms. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in architectural design (541310) and specialty trade contracting (238990). He routinely procures services related to structural rehabilitation, water and sewer system upgrades, historic preservation, and site grading, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal construction standards, ASTM specifications, and National Historic Preservation Act compliance.
