She manages contracting activities focused on operational support services critical to ecological restoration and wildfire risk reduction, ensuring alignment with federal land management priorities. Her portfolio centers on janitorial and facility maintenance services essential to maintaining administrative facilities, visitor centers, and field stations across central Oregon’s forested landscapes. Paddock ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s environmental and operational goals through timely, efficient contract execution. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Paddock maintains a consistent procurement pattern with small business vendors, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, compliant janitorial and custodial services in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, environmental stewardship, and adherence to federal sustainability standards, often requiring vendors to implement eco-friendly cleaning protocols and waste management practices aligned with USDA guidelines. Paddock exhibits a strong and exclusive commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her procurement activity toward Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms, including those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Her contracting approach reinforces the Department of Agriculture’s broader socioeconomic goals by prioritizing inclusive vendor engagement and community-based economic development. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine cleaning, waste removal, sanitation, and facility upkeep services tailored to federal forest infrastructure. She specializes in procuring services that support operational continuity in low-traffic, high-ecological-value areas, requiring vendors with experience in environmentally sensitive site management and compliance with federal environmental review processes.
