Danielle Armstrong serves as a key procurement lead within the Mount Hood National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain ecological integrity and public safety through targeted infrastructure and operational acquisitions. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance contracts focused on forest road and bridge resilience, water and sewer infrastructure, and facility upgrades essential to public access and resource protection. Her work ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s long-term stewardship goals, prioritizing projects that enhance environmental sustainability and community safety. Armstrong cultivates strong working relationships with specialty trade contractors experienced in remote, environmentally sensitive terrains. She collaborates closely with local and regional firms capable of delivering high-quality plumbing, roofing, site preparation, and water system construction services under challenging forest conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, environmental compliance, and rapid response capabilities, fostering partnerships with vendors who understand the unique operational constraints of federal forest lands. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Armstrong directs 100% of eligible acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for locally based enterprises. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms, reinforcing socioeconomic equity and regional economic development across the Pacific Northwest. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238220 (plumbing, heating, and HVAC), 237110 (water and sewer line construction), 238160 (roofing), 238910 (site preparation), and 238990 (other specialty trade contractors). She specializes in acquiring services that maintain and restore critical infrastructure in remote, ecologically sensitive areas, requiring deep technical knowledge of forest service standards, environmental mitigation protocols, and rugged terrain construction practices.
