Diana D. Arthur

Diana D. Arthur serves as a Procurement Assistant within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical services and infrastructure support. In this role, she facilitates the execution of procurements aligned with operational readiness, ecological restoration, and emergency response priorities, primarily managing solicitations for specialty trade contractors, forestry support services, and facility maintenance. She works closely with contracting officers to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations, streamline sourcing processes, and maintain transparency in award decisions across remote and high-risk operational environments. Diana collaborates regularly with key vendors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, reflecting a diverse vendor base spanning construction, staffing, and technical support services. Her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering specialized field services, emergency response staffing, and logistical support in rugged terrain, often under time-sensitive or mission-critical conditions. She fosters stable, performance-driven relationships with contractors who demonstrate proven capacity for federal compliance and operational adaptability. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly 50% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, complemented by targeted HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic equity and community-based economic development, aligning with federal mandates to expand opportunities for underserved small businesses in federal contracting. Diana’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), indicating deep expertise in terrestrial infrastructure, wildfire mitigation support, and ecological restoration services. She also routinely procures janitorial services and specialty trade contracting for institutional facilities, reflecting a broad operational footprint that supports both field and administrative missions across the Forest Service’s vast landholdings.
