Bonnie C Smith

Bonnie C. Smith serves as a Procurement Technician with the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services. In this role, she facilitates the execution of federal procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing primarily on construction and civil engineering projects essential to maintaining resilient transportation networks, fire suppression access routes, and remote facility infrastructure. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor responses, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, and coordinating with program managers to align contracting actions with field operational needs in rugged, often inaccessible terrain. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in highway, street, and bridge construction, 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 preference for firms with proven expertise in federal construction projects, emergency response support, and specialized labor services tailored to remote forest service operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery under challenging environmental conditions. A defining feature of Smith’s contracting profile is her exclusive use of HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to directing opportunities toward economically disadvantaged rural communities. All of her awarded actions are structured to maximize participation by HUBZone-certified small businesses, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals and supporting workforce development in underserved regions. Her technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—encompassing road maintenance, erosion control structures, culvert installations, and access trail development. She procures services involving earthmoving, grading, pavement repair, and drainage systems critical to forest health, wildfire mitigation, and public safety in federally managed lands.
