Amanda Shoaf

Amanda Shoaf serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting mission-critical acquisitions that sustain forest health, emergency response capabilities, and operational readiness across remote federal lands. She manages a portfolio of service-based contracts aligned with the agency’s priorities in ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience. Her acquisitions primarily focus on support services essential to field operations, with an emphasis on maintaining workforce continuity and facility functionality in challenging environments. Shoaf operates within the Federal Acquisition Regulation framework to ensure compliance, transparency, and mission alignment across all contracting actions. She 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 reliance on specialized staffing, medical support, and technical services tailored to the unique demands of forest service operations. Shoaf’s contracting approach favors vendors with proven experience in remote-area logistics, temporary workforce solutions, and niche technical support, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships that enhance operational continuity. Shoaf demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small firms while ensuring access to agile, mission-responsive vendors. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, aligning with USDA’s broader socioeconomic goals and reinforcing the Forest Service’s dedication to inclusive procurement practices. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, ensuring cleanliness and safety in field stations and administrative facilities. The remaining third involves NAICS 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), indicating specialized procurement of equipment critical to wildfire suppression systems and remote utility operations. This dual focus reveals expertise in both facility support services and technical equipment procurement essential to sustaining forest service missions in rugged terrain.
