Amelia Davila-Garcia

Amelia Davila-Garcia serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA East 9 unit, supporting the agency’s mission to sustainably manage national forests and grasslands through operational and scientific infrastructure. She facilitates the acquisition of critical services that ensure forest health, facility integrity, and environmental research capacity, with a focus on landscaping, temporary staffing, and laboratory testing. Her role involves executing contract actions in alignment with federal procurement regulations, ensuring compliance with socioeconomic goals and technical specifications for environmental stewardship. She primarily handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for non-construction services that support field operations and analytical workflows. Amelia collaborates consistently with a core group of contractors including LightBox Parent, L.P., Larkos Packing and Distribution Inc., Elf’s Landscaping Inc., Nelts of CT, LLC, and Richard Kyllander. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, regionally based vendors capable of delivering tailored services such as invasive species control, vegetation management, and environmental sample analysis. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, small-scale vendors with proven operational agility in remote and ecologically sensitive environments, fostering long-term, performance-based relationships grounded in reliability and site-specific expertise. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly oriented toward small business participation, with 89.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to empowering small, locally owned enterprises, particularly those serving rural and forested regions. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand access for small businesses, reinforcing the agency’s broader equity and resilience objectives in federal contracting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 561320 (Temporary Help Services), with significant activity in 541370 (Surveying and Mapping) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories). She procures services essential to ecological monitoring, pest management, and environmental data collection, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with field-based environmental operations and laboratory support systems critical to forest science and conservation.
