Jocelyn Hayes

Jocelyn Hayes supports the U.S. Forest Service’s Csa East 10 division in managing critical facility and operational service acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustainably maintain national forest infrastructure. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement activities center on janitorial, landscaping, building systems maintenance, and environmental support services essential to public access and resource protection. She handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, prioritizing performance-based outcomes and long-term operational readiness across forested regions. Her work ensures that mission-critical services remain reliable, compliant, and environmentally sound. Hayes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HARVEY PROPERTIES & LAWN CARE INC, TAR HEEL LANDSCAPE ENTERPRISES, INC, and SACRED SUMMIT SOLUTIONS LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional, service-oriented vendors with proven expertise in grounds maintenance, facility operations, and environmental compliance. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established, repeat performers with demonstrated capacity to deliver scalable, on-site services under challenging terrain and weather conditions, indicating a focus on reliability and local responsiveness over broad-scale national vendors. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a clear commitment to small business participation. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals intentional support for economically disadvantaged and locally rooted enterprises, reinforcing the agency’s broader equity and community engagement objectives. The majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), followed by 561410 (Document Preparation Services), 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), and 334513 (Industrial Process Instrument Manufacturing). This mix reveals a dual focus on physical site maintenance and technical support services, including environmental monitoring systems and administrative documentation. Her expertise lies in integrating operational needs with environmental compliance, ensuring that procurement decisions align with federal land stewardship standards and sustainable resource management goals.
