Helen P Yeatts

Helen P. Yeatts serves as a Contract Specialist for the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that support the agency’s mission of sustaining national forest and grassland ecosystems. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on personnel services, technical training, and healthcare support critical to operational readiness in remote and high-risk environments. Her work ensures timely fulfillment of workforce needs for wildfire response, ecological restoration, and infrastructure resilience, aligning procurement outcomes with federal acquisition regulations and strategic resource planning. Yeatts maintains established relationships with a focused set of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging specialized service providers for temporary staffing, clinical support, and technical training solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, particularly in sectors requiring rapid mobilization and niche expertise in rural and wilderness operational contexts. While the majority of her acquisitions—80%—are conducted without set-asides, Yeatts consistently allocates 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. She prioritizes contracting with small firms capable of delivering agile, mission-critical services without compromising operational standards, reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader socioeconomic goals. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools) and 621111 (Offices of Physicians), reflecting a strong emphasis on workforce development and on-site medical services for field personnel. She also procures dental care services under 621210, underscoring her expertise in supporting the health and readiness of Forest Service employees operating in isolated locations. Yeatts’ domain expertise centers on human capital and clinical support services essential to sustaining workforce resilience across federal lands.
