Acree serves as a Purchase Agent for the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support forest health, wildfire mitigation, and operational readiness across remote and rugged federal lands. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions under FAR guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning purchasing decisions with the agency’s strategic priorities in ecological restoration and infrastructure resilience.

Acree 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 focus on niche service providers delivering specialized labor, technical support, and logistics solutions tailored to the unique demands of federal land management. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to field operational needs, often requiring rapid mobilization in high-priority or emergency scenarios. She exhibits a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Aside procurement under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all eligible acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a strong institutional and personal dedication to socioeconomic contracting goals, fostering opportunities for small, locally rooted vendors to contribute directly to federal land stewardship efforts. Her pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a strategic alignment with federal mandates to enhance economic inclusion and community resilience.

She procures equipment, services, and materials directly tied to sustainable timber harvesting, sawmill operations, and forest product utilization—ensuring that forest management activities remain ecologically sound and operationally efficient. Her work bridges environmental stewardship with industrial forestry practices under rigorous federal oversight.
