Kimberly Jurkiewicz

Kimberly Jurkiewicz serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service – Spoc East, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize critical infrastructure across federal forest lands. She manages acquisitions for construction, environmental support, and operational systems essential to sustaining forest ecosystems and public access. Her portfolio centers on facility upgrades, water and sanitation rehabilitation, and mission-critical equipment procurement, ensuring compliance with federal contracting standards while advancing environmental resilience and operational efficiency. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the Forest Service’s long-term infrastructure modernization goals. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Jurkiewicz’s procurement patterns indicate a strong emphasis on collaboration with small and specialized vendors capable of delivering technical services in forestry support, civil infrastructure, and precision instrumentation. Her contracting approach favors firms with niche expertise in environmental compliance, field instrumentation, and rural construction, fostering partnerships with agile, technically proficient vendors who can operate in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. Jurkiewicz demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms, particularly those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, or SBA small business programs. Her consistent use of set-asides ensures broad vendor engagement and supports workforce development in rural and forest-adjacent communities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), where she secures services such as wildfire mitigation, trail maintenance, and ecological restoration. She also regularly procures highway and bridge construction (237310) and specialized industrial instrumentation (334511, 334513, 334516), including environmental monitoring systems and analytical laboratory equipment. This technical breadth underscores her expertise in integrating field operations with data-driven resource management systems.
