Catherine Sullivan

Catherine Sullivan supports the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service through critical procurement functions within CSA Southwest 3, ensuring operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. She manages acquisitions aligned with infrastructure maintenance, public safety, and resource stewardship, focusing on essential services that sustain remote and high-use recreational areas. Her portfolio includes contracts for sanitation, landscaping, surveying, and forestry support activities, all designed to uphold environmental compliance and public access standards. Sullivan operates within a framework that prioritizes mission-critical service delivery in challenging terrain, requiring precise contract administration and coordination with field operations teams. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LOCG LLC, Pamer & Pamer LLC, Fortazo Corp., and L1 Enterprises Incorporated, all of whom provide specialized services in janitorial, landscaping, and forestry support operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments, often requiring mobility, seasonal adaptability, and environmental compliance expertise. Sullivan fosters long-term vendor relationships built on reliability, performance accountability, and adherence to federal service standards. Sullivan demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 77% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. A smaller but meaningful portion of contracts are competed under the 8(a) program, reflecting deliberate efforts to expand opportunities for disadvantaged businesses. Her procurement patterns consistently prioritize small business participation, aligning with USDA’s broader goals to enhance equity and resilience in federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (janitorial services) and 561730 (landscaping services), supporting campground sanitation and trail maintenance across federal lands. She also regularly procures surveying and mapping services (541370) and support activities for forestry (115310), demonstrating technical expertise in environmental compliance and land-use operations. Her domain knowledge ensures acquisitions meet both operational needs and ecological protection standards.
