Dan Child

Daniel Child serves as a Civil Engineer with the USDA Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in planning, evaluating, and overseeing infrastructure acquisitions essential to forest management and public safety. His responsibilities include managing the design, construction, and maintenance of roads, bridges, trails, water systems, and erosion control structures across remote and ecologically sensitive federal lands. As a technical lead in procurement, he ensures that engineering contracts align with federal standards for resilience, environmental compliance, and operational readiness, particularly in wildfire-prone and high-risk terrain. His acquisitions primarily support ecological restoration, emergency response infrastructure, and long-term asset sustainability, bridging engineering requirements with federal contracting protocols. Child maintains consistent working relationships with specialized 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 mix of engineering services, technical staffing, and niche consulting support tailored to field operations in rugged environments. His procurement patterns emphasize firms with proven experience in federal land management contexts, particularly those capable of mobilizing rapidly, adhering to NEPA and ESA regulations, and delivering mission-critical infrastructure under challenging logistical constraints. While no set-aside data is currently available, Child’s contracting activity demonstrates an implicit alignment with socioeconomic goals through engagements with small, specialized firms offering technical labor, engineering design, and field support services. His reliance on niche contractors suggests a preference for agile, mission-adapted vendors over large-scale general contractors, fostering opportunities for small and veteran-owned businesses active in federal land management sectors. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories related to civil engineering, construction, and environmental remediation, with particular emphasis on road and trail construction, watershed protection, and structural resilience. He routinely procures services involving geotechnical analysis, hydrologic modeling, erosion control systems, and temporary access solutions—domains requiring deep expertise in federal land use constraints and ecological mitigation strategies.
