Kelly Cornwall

Kelly Cornwall serves as the District Fuels Specialist for the USDA Forest Service, responsible for managing the procurement and logistical support of petroleum-based fuels and related energy services critical to operational readiness across federal forest lands. In this role, she ensures the timely acquisition of fuel infrastructure and distribution services necessary for wildfire response, equipment operations, and remote field station sustainment. Her procurement activities are strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain ecological resilience and emergency preparedness in rugged, often inaccessible terrain, requiring specialized logistical planning and compliance with federal fuel handling regulations. Cornwall 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 primarily support fuel supply chain management, specialized transportation, and technical services related to fuel storage and distribution systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and rapid response capability, often engaging vendors with proven experience in federal fuel logistics and hazardous material handling. She demonstrates a steadfast commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority per FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small, locally-based enterprises capable of meeting the unique demands of federal fuel operations in remote areas. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility and socioeconomic development goals. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 424710—Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals—encompassing the acquisition of bulk fuel delivery, storage tank maintenance, fuel transfer systems, and associated safety and environmental compliance services. This specialization underscores her technical expertise in energy infrastructure procurement tailored to the operational needs of federal land management agencies.
