Alicia Bledsoe

Alicia Bledsoe serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of management and operational services. She oversees contracts critical to ecological restoration, emergency response readiness, and infrastructure resilience in remote environments, with a focus on administrative consulting, facility leasing, and educational support services. Her role ensures alignment with federal procurement regulations and agency priorities, enabling the Forest Service to maintain operational continuity across vast and often inaccessible public lands. Bledsoe maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized management consulting, workforce staffing, medical support, and technology integration services essential to field operations. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capacity to deliver mission-critical support under demanding logistical conditions, often requiring flexible, performance-based contract structures. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly unreserved, with 75% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability and mission alignment over preference programs. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising operational effectiveness. Bledsoe’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), where she secures strategic planning and operational efficiency services, followed by NAICS 531120 (Nonresidential Leasing) for field office and storage facilities, and NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services) for training and workforce development. Her expertise centers on procuring services that enhance forest health, support emergency personnel readiness, and sustain administrative infrastructure in challenging terrains.
