Chris Frudenberg

Chris Frudenberg serves as Facilities Maintenance Manager for the USDA Forest Service, where he oversees the planning, procurement, and execution of critical infrastructure maintenance and repair activities across remote and high-risk federal lands. His role is central to sustaining operational readiness in rugged terrain, ensuring that facilities—from ranger stations to wildfire command centers—remain functional, safe, and resilient. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance acquisitions, primarily focused on facility upgrades, emergency repairs, and system modernization projects that support ecological stewardship and public safety missions. Frudenberg maintains consistent partnerships with specialized contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for electrical and infrastructure systems, alongside ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC and THE LOCUMS CO, LLC for skilled labor support, and GONDO ROY E MD for specialized medical and emergency response services. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, rapid response, and technical proficiency, fostering long-term vendor relationships that align with the Forest Service’s mission-critical needs in isolated and often inaccessible locations. He demonstrates a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic equity in contracting, directing 100% of his eligible acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, locally rooted enterprises with the capacity to deliver timely, context-aware services in challenging environments. His contracting patterns prioritize vendor diversity and community-based economic development through small business participation. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 238210 for electrical wiring and systems installation and NAICS 332321 for custom metal window and door manufacturing—two domains essential to facility integrity and energy efficiency. He specializes in procuring weather-resistant, durable building components and mission-critical electrical systems designed for extreme environmental conditions, demonstrating deep technical expertise in infrastructure resilience and facility sustainment for federal wildland operations.
