Angie Stafford

Angie Stafford serves as a Forestry Technician - Silviculture with the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in advancing ecological restoration and forest health initiatives across federal lands. Her responsibilities include planning and overseeing silvicultural treatments such as thinning, prescribed burning, and reforestation, which directly inform the agency’s acquisition needs for specialized forestry services. She is instrumental in identifying and justifying procurement requirements that support operational readiness in remote, rugged terrain, ensuring that contracting actions align with the Forest Service’s mission of sustainable ecosystem management and wildfire mitigation. Angie routinely collaborates with a focused group of contractors specializing in forestry support activities, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on technical field services, labor-intensive silviculture operations, and specialized personnel deployment for seasonal and emergency response tasks. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ecological restoration, invasive species control, and remote-site logistics, often requiring niche certifications and field-ready capabilities. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, her consistent reliance on small business contractors underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to foster local economic resilience and workforce development in rural forestry communities. Angie’s acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—reflecting her deep specialization in services such as tree planting, site preparation, vegetation management, and forest inventory support. She procures labor-intensive, field-based solutions requiring technical knowledge of silvicultural systems, forest ecology, and compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) protocols, ensuring that contracting outcomes directly enhance long-term forest health and resilience.
