Jerilynne Hayes

Jerilynne Hayes serves as an ECC Manager for the USDA Forest Service, where she oversees the planning, solicitation, and administration of mission-critical contracts that support operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. Her role is central to the agency’s procurement mission, ensuring timely acquisition of essential services that sustain infrastructure, enhance ecological resilience, and enable emergency response in remote and high-risk environments. She specializes in service-based acquisitions, primarily managing task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts aligned with facility maintenance and site support operations. Hayes maintains consistent working relationships with a select group 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 preference for specialized service providers capable of delivering flexible, on-demand support tailored to the Forest Service’s dynamic operational needs. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear statement of work requirements and rigorous contract administration. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Hayes directs 100% of her procurement activity toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring all contracts are reserved exclusively for small business concerns. This unwavering commitment maximizes economic opportunity for small, locally based firms and aligns with federal mandates to broaden participation across underserved entrepreneurial communities. Her approach reinforces the Forest Service’s broader socioeconomic goals while maintaining high standards for service delivery. Her procurement focus is exclusively concentrated on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting a specialized need for custodial, sanitation, and facility upkeep services at remote ranger stations, visitor centers, and field offices. She ensures these services meet stringent environmental and safety standards, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain clean, safe, and accessible public lands while preserving ecological integrity.
