Tonia Gladen

Tonia Gladen serves as a key procurement lead within the National Park Service’s Pwr GOGA(86000) office, responsible for managing acquisitions that support critical infrastructure resilience across national park units. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to preserve and operate culturally and environmentally significant sites by securing essential utility, waste management, and facility maintenance services. She routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 19 for small business set-asides, with a focus on long-term operational sustainability rather than one-time capital projects. Her acquisitions span environmental compliance, utility system upgrades, and visitor service support, requiring deep coordination with engineering, environmental, and facilities management teams. Gladen maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION and AMPLE ELECTRIC INC, reflecting her focus on technical services that align with park-specific operational needs. Her procurement patterns favor vendors with proven expertise in hazardous waste handling, plumbing and HVAC systems, and solid waste collection—sectors critical to maintaining park-wide sanitation and regulatory compliance. These partnerships are typically structured as performance-based, multi-year task orders with stringent environmental and safety benchmarks. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 61% of awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 7.7% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster local economic development while ensuring access to niche technical capabilities often held by smaller, regionally based firms. She consistently prioritizes small business participation without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Solid Waste Collection (562111), Plumbing and HVAC Contractors (238220), and Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal (562211), underscoring her technical expertise in environmental infrastructure and public health compliance. She procures specialized services such as septic system rehabilitation, wastewater treatment support, and environmental remediation—domains requiring adherence to EPA standards and NPS operational protocols.
