Judi D Foss

Judi D. Foss serves as a Procurement Technician with the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services. In this role, she facilitates the execution of federal procurement actions under FAR guidelines, focusing on construction, support services, and emergency response capabilities essential to managing remote and rugged federal lands. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with technical stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with socioeconomic and regulatory requirements for contract awards, primarily in civil engineering and forestry support domains. Judi 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 blend of specialized construction firms, workforce support vendors, and technical service providers aligned with the Forest Service’s operational needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsiveness to field-level demands, particularly in areas requiring rapid mobilization and technical expertise in remote environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Judi consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with 88.2% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 5.9% allocated to HUBZone firms. This pattern underscores her commitment to fostering economic opportunity within underserved communities and ensuring small businesses play a central role in supporting federal land management objectives. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), accounting for nearly two-thirds of her portfolio, followed by NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which includes vegetation management, wildfire response support, and forest health initiatives. She also procures janitorial and heavy civil engineering services to maintain operational readiness across dispersed federal sites, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and logistical demands of public land stewardship.
