Darcie Sutton

Darcie Sutton serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, responsible for managing acquisitions that support critical operational missions across national forests and grasslands. Her work centers on securing specialized services essential to maintaining ecological integrity, emergency response readiness, and infrastructure resilience in remote and high-risk environments. She handles a portfolio of non-traditional, mission-critical contracts aligned with field operations, often requiring rapid mobilization and niche technical expertise. Her acquisitions are strategically designed to sustain the agency’s ability to respond to wildfires, invasive species outbreaks, and environmental degradation while ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and sustainability mandates. Sutton maintains consistent relationships with a select group of 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 focus on labor-intensive, specialized support services—particularly in healthcare staffing, logistics coordination, and technical consulting tailored to field operations. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for agile, responsive vendors capable of deploying personnel and resources into austere environments with minimal lead time, often under time-sensitive or emergency conditions. She demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small, locally-based firms with domain-specific capabilities, prioritizing socioeconomic equity and workforce development in rural and underserved communities adjacent to federal lands. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), indicating a specialized focus on sanitation, waste management, and environmental health infrastructure in remote recreational, ranger, and emergency response sites. This niche specialization underscores her expertise in managing non-traditional environmental services critical to public safety and ecological compliance in federally managed wilderness areas.
