Amy Crews

Amy Crews serves as a Facilities Engineer at the Mark Twain National Forest, where she plays a pivotal role in planning, evaluating, and managing infrastructure acquisitions that support sustainable land management and ecological resilience. Her responsibilities include overseeing the procurement of construction and remediation services critical to trail and road maintenance, watershed protection, and wildfire mitigation efforts. As a technical lead within the agency’s acquisition team, she ensures that all contracts align with U.S. Forest Service standards and federal environmental compliance requirements. Crews typically handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions involving civil engineering, environmental remediation, and specialty trade contracting, often coordinating with field biologists, engineers, and land managers to define technical specifications and performance outcomes. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Crews maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of qualified vendors specializing in environmental restoration and heavy civil construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, ecologically sensitive work in remote and sensitive forested environments. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in federal land management contexts and a strong safety and compliance record. Crews demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms, particularly those with expertise in environmental services and rural infrastructure. Her contracting patterns consistently favor small business participation without reliance on specific socioeconomic categories, ensuring broad access and competitive bidding among qualified small entities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction). She specializes in acquiring services related to erosion control, invasive species habitat restoration, trail rehabilitation, and water infrastructure maintenance, demonstrating deep technical expertise in ecological engineering and public land infrastructure lifecycle management.
