Debi Church

Debi Church serves as a Procurement Technician with the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement process for construction and engineering-related contracts, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with field operational needs. Her work directly enables the agency’s priorities in wildfire mitigation, road and bridge resilience, and emergency response readiness across remote and rugged terrains. She handles competitive and set-aside acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with program managers, legal counsel, and contracting officers to deliver timely, compliant solutions that support mission-critical infrastructure. Debi 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 specialized construction services, personnel support, and technical consulting aligned with Forest Service field operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsiveness to dynamic field conditions, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance history and compliance. A defining feature of Debi’s contracting portfolio is her exclusive use of HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to economic development in historically underutilized business zones. She consistently prioritizes small businesses certified under the HUBZone program, ensuring federal contracting dollars directly benefit disadvantaged communities while delivering qualified, locally rooted contractors capable of operating in challenging environments. Her procurement activity is concentrated exclusively under NAICS 237310 — Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction — underscoring her deep specialization in civil infrastructure projects vital to forest access, fire suppression logistics, and ecosystem management. She procures services including road rehabilitation, erosion control structures, bridge maintenance, and access route construction, demonstrating technical fluency in federal construction standards and remote-site operational requirements.
