Lori Martinez serves as a Purchasing Agent for the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in acquiring goods and services essential to the agency’s mission of sustaining national forests and grasslands. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurements aligned with operational readiness in remote and rugged environments, focusing on janitorial services, infrastructure support, and resource management solutions. Her work directly enables field operations, emergency response capabilities, and ecological restoration efforts by ensuring timely acquisition of mission-critical supplies and contracted services under federal acquisition regulations. Martinez maintains consistent 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 span staffing support, specialized medical services, transportation equipment, and federal compliance solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and mission alignment, often engaging vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments and remote-site service delivery. A strong advocate for small business participation, Martinez consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 80% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance contractor diversity, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a steady commitment to engaging small, disadvantaged, and locally rooted vendors capable of delivering essential services across dispersed federal lands. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), supporting facility maintenance at ranger stations and visitor centers, alongside specialized contracts in fabricated structural metal manufacturing, recreational vehicle park operations, conservation program administration, and transportation equipment. These categories reflect the agency’s need for durable infrastructure, visitor services, and operational support in high-use and ecologically sensitive areas, underscoring her expertise in mission-driven procurement for complex, outdoor federal operations.
