Tye Battle

Tye Battle serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s mission to secure and manage real estate infrastructure for rural agricultural operations and conservation programs. Responsible for acquiring nonresidential leasing services and related facility management solutions, Battle ensures that USDA personnel have reliable, accessible physical infrastructure across underserved regions to deliver farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation outreach. Their procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on real property leasing, with a strict emphasis on long-term, mission-critical space acquisition to support field-level operations. Battle maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC, leveraging these partners for facility adaptation, site development, and strategic infrastructure planning. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated expertise in federal real estate compliance, adaptive reuse of existing structures, and site-specific logistical support tailored to rural and remote locations. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, lease administration, and facility sustainment rather than construction or renovation. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in Battle’s procurement activity; all acquisitions are competed full and open, reflecting a mission-driven focus on efficiency and availability over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern underscores a prioritization of capability and geographic suitability over certification-based sourcing. The primary NAICS code for all acquisitions is 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—indicating a singular focus on leasing existing commercial and agricultural infrastructure. Battle specializes in procuring leased office spaces, field service centers, and conservation program hubs, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and alignment with USDA’s operational footprint strategy in rural America.
