Lisa Klaus

Lisa Klaus serves as a procurement specialist within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA East 7 unit, responsible for managing acquisition activities that support the operational sustainability of national forest infrastructure and public land management services. She plays a critical role in executing contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain forest ecosystems and ensure safe, accessible recreational and administrative facilities. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on janitorial and custodial services, ensuring that ranger stations, visitor centers, and field offices meet federal hygiene, safety, and environmental compliance standards. She oversees the full lifecycle of service contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with FAR guidelines and agency-specific operational needs. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Lisa Klaus consistently engages a network of small business vendors qualified to deliver high-quality, mission-critical cleaning and facility support services across remote and high-traffic forest service sites. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for responsive, locally rooted vendors capable of adapting to seasonal demands and rugged terrain, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Lisa Klaus maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy under FAR 19.5, fully dedicating all janitorial service acquisitions to small businesses without distinction among socioeconomic categories. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, community-based service providers, particularly those with demonstrated capacity to operate in federally managed natural environments. Her procurement expertise is narrowly and deeply focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine custodial operations, waste management, disinfection protocols, and environmental sanitation in federal facilities. She brings technical proficiency in service-level agreements, performance metrics, and compliance with OSHA and EPA standards, ensuring that contracted services uphold the Forest Service’s stewardship values while safeguarding public health and worker safety.
