Julie Gott Benedetti

Julie Gott Benedetti serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting mission-critical acquisitions that advance forest health, wildfire resilience, and operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on site preparation, heavy equipment leasing, and infrastructure support services essential for maintaining remote and rugged federal lands. Her work directly enables field operations by ensuring timely access to specialized contractors and equipment needed for ecological restoration, invasive species control, and emergency response activities. Benedetti’s procurement approach prioritizes mission alignment, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance in high-stakes environmental and safety contexts. She 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 reliance on firms capable of delivering specialized site preparation services, construction and forestry equipment leasing, and technical staffing solutions tailored to the unique demands of federal land management. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven experience in rugged terrain operations and rapid mobilization capabilities. Benedetti’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting complex, time-sensitive operational needs, rather than targeting socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 532412 (Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing). She consistently acquires services related to land clearing, road construction, fuel break development, and the rental of heavy machinery such as bulldozers, skidders, and forestry mulchers—core capabilities required to execute large-scale forest management and fire mitigation projects.
