Jennifer Travis

Jennifer Travis serves as the primary procurement lead for the USDA Forest Service, overseeing a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to operational readiness and ecological stewardship across federal lands. She manages contract actions supporting wildfire mitigation, forest health restoration, and remote infrastructure maintenance, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems. Her work encompasses service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in field operations, logistics, and environmental compliance, often in challenging, low-access terrains. Travis plays a pivotal role in translating mission needs into solicitation requirements that prioritize resilience, safety, and ecological integrity. She 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 reflect a blend of specialized labor support, technical services, and operational staffing solutions tailored to the Forest Service’s dynamic field requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes flexibility and responsiveness, frequently engaging vendors capable of rapid deployment and mission-critical support in remote environments, often under time-sensitive or emergency conditions. Travis demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 87.5% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, disadvantaged, and locally rooted enterprises capable of delivering essential services in rural and forested regions. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic goals, fostering equitable access to federal opportunities for small businesses with relevant domain expertise. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561439 (other business service centers) and 115310 (support activities for forestry), which encompass field support services, equipment maintenance, and ecological monitoring. She also procures surveying and mapping services (NAICS 541370) for land assessment and drycleaning and laundry services (NAICS 812320) to sustain personnel operations in remote outposts. Her expertise centers on integrating logistical, environmental, and workforce support functions to enable sustained operational effectiveness across the nation’s forested landscapes.
