Evelyn D. Bradley

Evelyn Bradley serves as a Contract Specialist for the USDA Forest Service – Spoc East, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical infrastructure modernization across federal forest lands. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts for construction, environmental services, and facility maintenance. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems through targeted capital improvements, including upgrades to job corps centers, food service operations, water systems, and access infrastructure. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, multi-year projects requiring compliance with federal environmental regulations and construction standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Bradley engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in forestry support, civil construction, and facility systems. She routinely collaborates with firms offering surveying and mapping services, plumbing and HVAC installation, and industrial building construction, ensuring technical alignment with Forest Service operational needs. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal land management contexts and demonstrated capacity to meet stringent environmental and safety requirements. Bradley’s contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 88.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 11.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among small firms while maintaining flexibility to meet mission-critical timelines and technical demands. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541370 (Surveying and Mapping), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 238220/237310/236210 (construction trades). She specializes in acquiring technical services essential to forest management, including land surveying, habitat restoration support, and the renovation of aging infrastructure. Her expertise spans integrating environmental compliance with construction delivery, ensuring projects meet both operational and ecological standards.
