DeAndre Allen

DeAndre Allen supports the USDA Forest Service in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest and grassland ecosystems through infrastructure resilience and operational readiness. Though his official title is not listed, his procurement patterns indicate a central role in managing specialized construction and technical service contracts essential for wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and remote terrain maintenance. He routinely handles acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for specialty trade services, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities across federal lands, often in high-risk or geographically isolated areas. Allen maintains consistent working 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 preference for firms capable of delivering specialized trade services, workforce staffing solutions, and technical support tailored to the Forest Service’s unique operational environment. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, niche expertise, and rapid mobilization, particularly for emergency response and infrastructure repair in rugged terrain. His procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business set-asides, with 100% of his awarded contracts designated under the FAR 19.5 Small Business Set-Aside program. This demonstrates a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, ensuring that small businesses—particularly those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business programs—have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities within the Forest Service’s operational domain. Allen’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with significant activity in electrical installation, roofing, and highway construction. He consistently sources services related to trail maintenance, firebreak construction, utility upgrades, and structural repairs on federal lands, reflecting deep technical familiarity with field-based infrastructure needs and the regulatory requirements governing construction on protected federal ecosystems.
