Tyler Spencer

Tyler Spencer serves as the primary contracting professional for the Upper Colorado Regional Office of the Bureau of Reclamation, overseeing the acquisition of critical water infrastructure and civil engineering services across the Upper Colorado River Basin. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, he ensures compliance with federal regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable water management and hydraulic structure maintenance. His acquisitions primarily focus on construction and rehabilitation of water conveyance systems, dam operations infrastructure, and environmental restoration projects, aligning closely with the Bureau’s strategic priorities in resilience and operational modernization. Spencer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMES FEDERAL CONTRACTING GROUP LLC, SOUTHWEST WATER DESIGN, L.L.C., RIVERRESTORATION.ORG, LLC, PACIFIC OVERHEAD CRANE SERVICES INC., and ROBINS CONSTRUCTION, LLLP. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep expertise in water and sewer line construction, hydraulic structure maintenance, and ecological restoration. His contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, proven performance history, and capacity to execute complex field-based projects under stringent environmental and safety standards. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides in Spencer’s procurement portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions under the No Set-Aside designation. This reflects a mission-driven focus on selecting the most qualified performers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing technical capability and project delivery reliability over socioeconomic criteria. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 237110, Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction, demonstrating a narrow and highly specialized technical domain. He procures services related to pipeline installation, diversion structure upgrades, spillway rehabilitation, and erosion control systems, requiring deep familiarity with federal water project standards, geotechnical engineering practices, and environmental compliance protocols.
