Donna Mullen

Donna Mullen serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, specifically supporting the Csa Intermountain 7 office. She manages contracting activities focused on critical infrastructure and resource management needs across remote forested regions, ensuring the maintenance and resilience of public lands through timely acquisition of specialized construction and material services. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical projects that sustain forest access, water conveyance systems, and structural integrity of facilities in challenging terrains, requiring precise adherence to federal procurement regulations and environmental compliance standards. Mullen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Nehemiah Construction LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Peterson Plumbing Supply, and Reliance Contractors Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional firms with proven expertise in civil infrastructure, concrete works, and utility installation. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local responsiveness, and technical competency in handling complex site-specific challenges common to rural and high-elevation forest environments. She exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent policy ensures equitable access to federal opportunities for small, locally owned firms, reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader goals of community engagement and economic development in underserved rural areas. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion without compromising technical performance or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 327332—Concrete Pipe Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in water management infrastructure, including culverts, storm drains, and erosion control systems. She procures engineered concrete products and related installation services essential for drainage, stream crossing, and road stability in sensitive ecological zones. This technical domain requires intimate knowledge of material specifications, hydraulic performance standards, and environmental mitigation requirements unique to federal forest lands.
