Kelly Altmiller

Kelly Altmiller serves as a key procurement lead for the Lolo National Forest, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical services that support ecological stewardship and infrastructure resilience across western Montana. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracting actions, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the U.S. Forest Service’s strategic priorities in land management, public safety, and environmental sustainability. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on janitorial and facility support services, reflecting the agency’s operational need to maintain clean, safe, and functional public and administrative facilities within remote forest service locations. Altmiller maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of contractors including Quality Construction Co., YOY Inc., Century Warehousing, Inc., Oregon Woods, Inc., and the County of Kootenai. These vendors are frequently engaged for recurring janitorial, waste management, and light facility maintenance tasks essential to sustaining operations in high-traffic and low-access areas. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local capacity, and service continuity, fostering partnerships with firms experienced in operating within sensitive ecological environments and under challenging logistical conditions. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize locally rooted, economically disadvantaged, and community-based enterprises that contribute to regional economic development while meeting federal service standards. Her contracting model ensures equitable access to federal opportunities for small firms with proven capabilities in custodial and facility support. Altmiller’s procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine cleaning, trash removal, restroom maintenance, and environmental sanitation across ranger stations, visitor centers, and backcountry facilities. Her technical expertise lies in specifying service levels that meet USDA and Forest Service hygiene and safety protocols, particularly in areas with limited water access or sensitive wildlife habitats. She is recognized for her precision in defining performance-based requirements that ensure compliance with federal environmental and operational standards.
