Hannah Burnett

Hannah Burnett serves as a procurement specialist within the U.S. Forest Service’s CSA East 4 unit, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest lands through operational and infrastructure-related acquisitions. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for equipment and services critical to vegetation management, facility maintenance, and fire prevention operations. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement decisions with ecological stewardship goals, particularly in support of land stewardship, watershed protection, and public recreation access. Burnett routinely handles acquisitions for specialized machinery and equipment used in forest management activities, emphasizing reliability, safety, and environmental compatibility. Her primary contractor relationships are centered on R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., both of which provide technical and environmental services tailored to federal land management needs. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in ecological compliance, equipment maintenance, and field-based operational support. Burnett fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence, ensuring contractors meet the Forest Service’s stringent standards for environmental stewardship and public safety. Burnett maintains a strict 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy under FAR 19.5, consistently directing all eligible acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to socioeconomic diversity, ensuring that contracting opportunities support local and regional enterprises with the capacity to deliver specialized forest service equipment and support. Her pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to expand economic opportunity and build resilient, community-based supply chains. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 333112, which encompasses the manufacturing of lawn and garden tractors and associated home and land management equipment. This specialization indicates deep technical expertise in procuring heavy-duty, off-road machinery used for vegetation control, trail maintenance, and fuel reduction operations across forested landscapes. Burnett’s domain knowledge ensures that acquisitions meet rigorous performance, durability, and safety standards required for federal land management applications.
