Guy Trampe

Guy Trampe serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division, supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s mission to advance land conservation and rural resource planning through strategic acquisitions. He manages a portfolio of technical and engineering service contracts essential to field-level conservation initiatives, soil health programs, and land easement restoration efforts. His acquisitions primarily involve engineering, real estate appraisal, and specialty trade services that enable data-driven agricultural decision-making and infrastructure support for conservation programs. Trampe’s work ensures that federal resources are effectively leveraged to deliver on-ground environmental outcomes through compliant, mission-aligned contracting. Trampe maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide specialized technical services in conservation engineering and land management. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained engagement with small, niche vendors capable of delivering field-responsive solutions for complex rural projects. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical precision, and local expertise, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in conservation infrastructure and agricultural land systems. Trampe demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower economically disadvantaged and locally rooted firms, aligning with USDA’s broader socioeconomic goals. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility without reliance on other set-aside categories, reinforcing a streamlined focus on broad-based small business inclusion across all contract actions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), where he acquires services for erosion control, conservation drainage, and land restoration infrastructure. He also procures real estate appraisal services (531320) and specialty trade work such as electrical and janitorial support for conservation facilities. Trampe’s expertise centers on technical contracting for environmental engineering and land-based conservation systems, ensuring that federal investments yield durable, ecologically sound outcomes.
