Tracey Weston

Tracey Weston serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to supporting USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Responsible for securing and managing nonresidential leasing arrangements across rural and underserved regions, Weston ensures that physical facilities enable seamless delivery of farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. Her acquisitions focus exclusively on long-term space utilization agreements that support permanent and semi-permanent USDA personnel presence, aligning with the agency’s mission to expand operational reach in geographically isolated areas. Weston maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a contractor specializing in site preparation and facility adaptation for federal use, and the Foreign Policy Research Institute Inc., which provides strategic advisory services related to land use and infrastructure planning. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging vendors with deep expertise in federal real estate adaptation and policy-aligned facility management, rather than broad-based construction or general services providers. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and mission-specific functionality over volume or speed. Weston’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical suitability and facility readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission-critical outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors are selected based on demonstrated capability to deliver complex real estate solutions under federal lease and facility management standards. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—indicating a specialization in lease acquisitions for existing commercial and institutional properties adapted for federal use. She procures turnkey facility solutions including office space, storage, and operational hubs, requiring compliance with GSA and USDA facility standards, environmental assessments, and long-term maintenance obligations. Weston’s expertise lies in navigating the intersection of federal real estate policy and agricultural program logistics.
