Kristin Greene (Technical POC)

John Greene serves as a key procurement lead within the National Forests & Grasslands in Texas, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustainably manage over three million acres of federal forestland and grasslands. He is responsible for planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that enable critical infrastructure maintenance, wildfire resilience initiatives, and ecological restoration efforts. His acquisitions primarily support heavy civil engineering and building systems installations, ensuring operational readiness and public safety across remote and ecologically sensitive areas. Greene works closely with field managers and environmental specialists to align contracting actions with land management plans and federal compliance requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Greene maintains consistent engagement with contractors specializing in heavy civil construction and mechanical systems installation. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships with firms capable of operating in challenging terrain under strict environmental regulations, often requiring specialized permits and adherence to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) protocols. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and the ability to deliver turnkey solutions for remote facilities and fire suppression infrastructure. Greene demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remaining half remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity for local and regional firms while ensuring competitive rigor. His contracting patterns show no exclusive reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a preference for broad small business inclusion without narrowing to specific socioeconomic categories. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). These reflect his domain expertise in water systems, roadways, firebreaks, visitor facilities, and utility infrastructure essential to forest operations. Greene’s work ensures that critical public infrastructure on federal lands meets technical, environmental, and safety standards while supporting sustainable resource management.
