Delaney Newport

Delaney Newport serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA Northwest 3 office, overseeing contract execution for critical infrastructure support services across Pacific Northwest federal forest lands. Responsible for ensuring operational readiness through timely acquisition of maintenance and resource management solutions, Newport manages a high-volume portfolio of service-based contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest roads, trails, and public safety systems. Their work directly enables field operations by securing essential non-construction services, with a singular focus on janitorial and facility support functions critical to ranger stations, visitor centers, and field offices. Newport maintains consistent working relationships with HAMILTON EXCAVATION LLC and SPRING FOUNTAIN STUDIOS LLC, both of which deliver specialized janitorial and environmental cleaning services tailored to remote, high-use federal facilities. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in managing sanitation protocols under challenging outdoor conditions, including post-wildfire site remediation and biohazard waste handling. The working model emphasizes reliability, compliance with federal environmental standards, and responsiveness to seasonal operational demands. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Newport implements a 100% small business set-aside strategy under FAR 19.5, ensuring all acquisitions are reserved exclusively for small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate, agency-aligned commitment to fostering local economic resilience and expanding contracting opportunities for disadvantaged entrepreneurs across the Pacific Northwest. The procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine cleaning, waste removal, disinfection, and facility maintenance for federal buildings and remote outposts. Newport’s technical expertise lies in defining service-level requirements that meet USDA environmental compliance standards, particularly in ecologically sensitive areas, ensuring that sanitation operations support both public health and ecological integrity without disrupting natural resource management goals.
