Angela Yemma

Angela Yemma serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service’s Intermountain 5 Regional Office, overseeing contract actions critical to the stewardship and ecological restoration of national forest lands. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on operational support services essential to forest health, including reforestation, wildfire mitigation, and degraded site remediation. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to sustain resilient ecosystems through timely, compliant contracting under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Yemma specializes in technical service contracts that require environmental expertise, field logistics coordination, and ecological monitoring capabilities. She maintains a consistent partnership with TETRA TECH, INC., and ALLIED ENGINEERING SERVICES INC., both of which provide specialized environmental consulting, ecological restoration, and infrastructure support services. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in forest ecosystem management, habitat restoration, and federal compliance frameworks. Yemma’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure flexible, scalable support across dynamic operational environments. Yemma demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her contract awards to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals and a deliberate effort to cultivate capacity among locally rooted, environmentally focused firms. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses with expertise in natural resource management, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while strengthening regional economic resilience. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 115210—Support Activities for Animal Production—encompassing services such as wildlife habitat enhancement, invasive species control, and ecological monitoring tied to forest regeneration. Though seemingly niche, this classification reflects the agency’s integration of wildlife conservation into broader forest health initiatives. Yemma’s technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of environmental science and federal procurement, ensuring that contract requirements align with ecological objectives and regulatory standards.
