Gwendolynn Boyle

Gwendolynn Boyle serves as a Procurement Technician within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain forest and grassland ecosystems through timely and compliant acquisition of critical operational services. In her role, she facilitates the procurement of specialized transportation, training, and emergency response capabilities essential for remote and rugged terrain operations. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, ensuring regulatory compliance under the FAR, and coordinating with program managers to align acquisitions with strategic priorities such as wildfire mitigation and ecological restoration. Boyle maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships primarily support aviation logistics, medical response, and workforce staffing needs in mission-critical environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and operational readiness, often engaging vendors with proven experience in federal land management contexts and specialized niche services. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as open competitions. This approach ensures broad vendor access while actively promoting small business engagement across diverse socioeconomic categories, including service-disabled veteran-owned and woman-owned firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481212 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation), supporting aerial firefighting and supply transport, alongside 488190 (Air Transportation Support), 611512 (Flight Training), and 621910 (Ambulance Services). These categories reflect her technical expertise in aviation logistics, emergency medical response, and workforce development for remote field operations, ensuring the Forest Service maintains operational continuity in high-risk, low-access environments.
