Linda N. Yoneshige

Linda N. Yoneshige serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of hazardous waste collection services in support of federal environmental compliance and public health initiatives. In this role, she ensures that procurement activities align with federal regulations, sustainability goals, and operational requirements for safe waste handling and disposal. Her portfolio centers on full-service environmental remediation contracts, including collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of regulated hazardous materials. She exercises full contracting authority from solicitation through award and closeout, emphasizing performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and regulatory adherence. Linda collaborates with a diverse pool of environmental service providers, primarily those certified in hazardous materials handling and DOT-compliant logistics. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven track records in RCRA-compliant operations, EPA-registered treatment facilities, and specialized containment protocols. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous vendor evaluation, performance monitoring, and contract administration grounded in FAR and environmental compliance standards. Linda’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission-critical service delivery rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she maintains transparency and equal opportunity in all solicitations. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 562112—Hazardous Waste Collection—which encompasses the full lifecycle of hazardous material management, including on-site containment, bulk transport, and disposal at permitted facilities. She specializes in procuring services that require hazardous waste manifests, EPA identification numbers, and adherence to state and federal environmental regulations. Her domain expertise lies in ensuring that contractors meet stringent safety, documentation, and environmental stewardship benchmarks essential to federal operations.
