Julie Nawrozzada

Julie Nawrozzada serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA East 10 office, responsible for managing contracts that sustain critical infrastructure across national forest lands. Her work supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally responsible facilities through acquisitions in janitorial services, landscaping, building systems maintenance, and related operational support. She handles a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning expenditures with forest stewardship goals and public access priorities. Nawrozzada maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Joel A. Mercado Diaz, Guillermo J. Figoli Gomez, Harvey Properties & Lawn Care Inc., Sacred Summit Solutions LLC, and Tar Heel Landscape Enterprises, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional, hands-on service providers capable of delivering site-specific maintenance and groundskeeping across remote forested areas. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local expertise, and responsiveness to seasonal and environmental demands, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based outcomes. A strong advocate for small business participation, Nawrozzada consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 78% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, enabling local entrepreneurs and minority-owned firms to contribute meaningfully to federal land stewardship. Her procurement strategy reflects a structured effort to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based vendors aligned with rural economic development goals. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), reflecting deep expertise in forestry-related operational services. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 531130 (self-storage), 236220 (commercial building construction), and 237310 (highway and bridge construction), demonstrating broad capability in managing infrastructure support across diverse environmental contexts. Her technical domain expertise lies in sustaining public-facing forest facilities through integrated, mission-aligned service contracts.
