Annita L Hayes

Annita L. Hayes serves as a Procurement Technician with the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through efficient and compliant acquisition processes. In this role, she facilitates the procurement of critical goods and services essential to wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, administering contract modifications, and ensuring adherence to federal acquisition regulations. She primarily handles non-personal services contracts and technical support acquisitions aligned with operational readiness and field-based resource management. Hayes maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 focus on specialized staffing, technical engineering, and logistics support services tailored to the Forest Service’s unique operational demands. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in remote-site operations, emergency response support, and technical field services, fostering reliable, mission-critical vendor relationships grounded in performance and compliance. Her contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition across all socioeconomic categories. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with federal small business participation goals, and she actively evaluates all eligible vendors under open competition frameworks without preferential targeting. Hayes specializes in procurements under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 423740 (Refrigeration Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), and 541370 (Surveying and Mapping Services). Her portfolio includes procurement of forestry support equipment, civil engineering construction, cold-chain logistics for field operations, and geospatial surveying services—all critical to maintaining forest health, infrastructure integrity, and operational safety across federal lands.
