Angie J Young

Angie J. Young serves as a Contracting Officer for the USDA Forest Service, where she manages the acquisition of critical goods and services essential to maintaining the nation’s forest and grassland ecosystems. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of federal procurement—from solicitation and evaluation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission priorities. She routinely handles complex acquisitions in infrastructure, operational support, and emergency response, with a focus on sustaining operational readiness in remote and rugged environments. Her work directly supports wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and infrastructure resilience initiatives across federal lands. Young maintains consistent working 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 blend of specialized engineering, workforce support, and technical services tailored to the Forest Service’s unique operational needs. She cultivates long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, often leveraging task-order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure agile response capabilities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Young consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, regularly incorporating small business concerns into the competitive landscape while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. This approach enhances market diversity and supports rural economic development in regions where Forest Service operations are concentrated. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), reflecting infrastructure resilience needs, alongside 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which includes vegetation management and wildfire response services. She also procures janitorial and facility support services (561720) and other heavy civil engineering works (237990), demonstrating expertise in both field operations and administrative support contracting within a high-stakes, mission-critical environment.
