Tracey Crockett

Tracey Crockett serves as Chief Acquisition for the DSC Contracting Services Division within the National Park Service, overseeing the strategic procurement of infrastructure modernization and preservation projects across America’s national parks. In this role, she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of complex construction and support contracts essential to maintaining historic structures, upgrading utility systems, and enhancing visitor facilities in ecologically sensitive and remote locations. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical acquisitions requiring technical precision, environmental compliance, and long-term resilience planning, with a strong emphasis on public infrastructure sustainability and cultural resource protection. Crockett maintains enduring partnerships 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 relationships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in civil infrastructure, historic rehabilitation, and utility system upgrades. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated project delivery, and contractor accountability in challenging field environments, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor engagement grounded in technical competency and regulatory adherence. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, Crockett consistently allocates 25% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses in the infrastructure sector. Her socioeconomic strategy prioritizes broad-based small business participation without reliance on specialized set-aside programs, ensuring competitive access while maintaining technical rigor. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), 238140 (Masonry Contractors), 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), and 561499 (All Other Business Support Services), reflecting a balanced emphasis on civil construction, preservation trades, and operational support. Crockett’s expertise spans the full lifecycle of infrastructure projects—from site preparation and utility rehabilitation to maintenance services—ensuring NPS assets meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and environmental stewardship.
