Janet E. Hada

Janet E. Hada serves as a key procurement professional within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to maintain ecological resilience and public safety across federal forest lands. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on forestry support operations, infrastructure maintenance, and public access improvements. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for critical services such as hazardous tree removal, trail rehabilitation, and forest road upkeep, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship standards. Hada’s work directly enables operational readiness and resource management across one of the nation’s largest national forests. She maintains established relationships with core vendors including CLIVUS MULTRUM, INC, known for ecological sanitation systems, and VALLEY TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT, INC, a provider of heavy machinery and forestry equipment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with specialized technical expertise in forest operations and sustainable land management. Hada consistently engages contractors capable of delivering field-ready solutions under challenging terrain and seasonal constraints, prioritizing reliability, safety, and environmental compliance in vendor selection. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 85% of awards structured as set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and HUBZone preferences. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity in rural communities and support local enterprises with proven capabilities in forestry support and civil engineering. Hada’s approach aligns with federal mandates to enhance socioeconomic equity while maintaining high standards of performance. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), underscoring expertise in land management infrastructure and ecological restoration services. She regularly procures specialized equipment, structural metal components, and landscaping services essential to maintaining trail systems, visitor facilities, and forest access routes, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the operational demands of federal forest stewardship.
