Ashley Stoltzfus

Ashley Stoltzfus serves as a key procurement professional within the Allegheny National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain ecological integrity and public access through strategic acquisition of forest management services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on vegetation control, habitat restoration, and infrastructure maintenance, with a strong emphasis on invasive species mitigation and wildfire resilience initiatives. Her acquisitions primarily involve support activities for forestry operations, including herbicide application, mechanical brush control, and ecological monitoring services, ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Stoltzfus maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors such as Boh Environmental, L.L.C. and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, both of which provide technical expertise in ecological restoration and forest service support. Her procurement approach favors long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering integrated field services across complex, terrain-sensitive environments. These relationships are characterized by a focus on technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and adaptive project execution in remote forested areas. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 72.7% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to empower local and regional small firms with the capacity to deliver forestry support services, aligning with USDA’s broader socioeconomic goals. While no other set-aside categories dominate her portfolio, her consistent reliance on small business set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on community-based economic development and workforce capacity building in rural Pennsylvania. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing herbicide application, forest thinning, and invasive species management. She also procures related services in landscaping, machinery maintenance, and janitorial support for forest service facilities, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining operational readiness across the national forest system. Her technical expertise centers on ecological restoration, environmental compliance, and field logistics in sensitive natural resource environments.
