Andrea Seiler

Andrea Seiler serves as a Civil Engineer with the Tahoe National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she plays a pivotal role in managing infrastructure acquisitions critical to forest resilience and public safety. Her responsibilities include overseeing the planning, design, and procurement of civil works projects such as trail and road maintenance, erosion control structures, and building envelope systems. She ensures that all acquisitions align with federal environmental and engineering standards while supporting the agency’s mission of ecological stewardship and wildfire mitigation. Her procurement portfolio centers on construction and rehabilitation services that enhance the durability and sustainability of forest infrastructure. Andrea cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of small business contractors specializing in structural and building envelope systems. She works closely with firms experienced in roofing, concrete foundations, plumbing, heating, and HVAC installation, fostering partnerships grounded in technical proficiency and compliance with federal construction codes. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety, and long-term performance, often requiring vendors to demonstrate proven experience in remote, ecologically sensitive environments. She prioritizes vendors who can deliver high-quality work under challenging field conditions while adhering to strict environmental mitigation protocols. Andrea maintains a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently awards contracts to small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) programs, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to strengthen local and regional economic resilience while building a pipeline of qualified small contractors capable of meeting the unique demands of federal land management infrastructure. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), 238160 (roofing), and 238190 (building exterior systems), with additional emphasis on poured concrete foundations and commercial building construction. She specializes in procuring services that reinforce structural integrity, weather resistance, and energy efficiency in remote forest facilities, demonstrating deep expertise in civil engineering principles applied to public land infrastructure.
