Elenita A. Siozon

Elenita A. Siozon serves as a Senior Contract Specialist within the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurement actions that support the agency’s mission to sustain forest infrastructure and public access. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance contracts, primarily focused on transportation networks, recreational facilities, and ecological support systems. Her expertise lies in structuring compliant, performance-based acquisitions under FAR Part 36, ensuring alignment with federal environmental and safety standards. Siozon’s work directly enables the rehabilitation of trails, roads, bridges, and campgrounds, facilitating both public safety and resource conservation across national forest lands. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GCS LLC, ACME ASPHALT INDUSTRIES INC, and TwentyoneTwentyseven LLC, all of which provide specialized civil construction and infrastructure services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in heavy highway construction and site-specific ecological mitigation. Siozon fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance, often leveraging performance-based service agreements to drive outcomes over inputs. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Siozon prioritizes HUBZone set-asides, which account for nearly half of her awarded contracts, alongside significant use of total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity in rural and underserved communities, aligning with federal goals for equitable procurement. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside solicitations, demonstrating a consistent commitment to small business participation as a core component of mission success. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting her technical expertise in civil infrastructure projects. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 237110 for water and sewer systems and 238160 for roofing, underscoring her domain knowledge in integrated facility maintenance. Siozon’s work ensures that forest infrastructure remains resilient, accessible, and environmentally sound through precise, mission-driven contracting.
