Humberto Marchese

Humberto Marchese serves as Safety Director for the Eastern Region USDA Forest Service, where he oversees the integration of safety protocols into all operational and construction activities across federal forest lands. In this capacity, he plays a critical role in shaping procurement strategy for environmental and infrastructure projects that demand rigorous compliance with federal safety standards, including OSHA and NFPA guidelines. His acquisitions primarily focus on remediation services that mitigate ecological hazards, stabilize degraded terrain, and ensure worker safety during wildfire suppression, trail construction, and facility modernization efforts. Marchese collaborates closely with field engineers and environmental specialists to define technical requirements that align with agency-wide safety and sustainability objectives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in available records, Marchese’s procurement activities consistently engage specialized environmental remediation firms capable of delivering hazardous material containment, soil stabilization, and erosion control services. He favors vendors with demonstrated expertise in federal environmental compliance, site assessment methodologies, and rapid-response remediation techniques. His working relationships are characterized by a performance-based approach, emphasizing contractor accountability, safety recordkeeping, and adherence to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Marchese’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a focus on technical capability and proven performance over socioeconomic classifications, though he does not exclude small businesses that meet stringent safety and remediation qualifications. His approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes over socioeconomic targets, ensuring the highest level of operational readiness and environmental protection. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), encompassing soil and groundwater remediation, hazardous waste handling, asbestos abatement, and invasive species control. Marchese’s technical domain expertise lies in ecological restoration under high-risk conditions, requiring contractors to possess specialized equipment, certified personnel, and experience in federally managed wildland environments.
