Maple Stuivenga

Maple Stuivenga serves as a Procurement Technician within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical services and infrastructure support. In this role, Stuivenga facilitates the execution of procurement actions for operational needs ranging from ecological restoration to emergency response capabilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific priorities. They handle a diverse portfolio of contracts, primarily in construction, technical services, and support operations, often coordinating with field units to align procurement timelines with seasonal and emergency-driven requirements in remote and rugged terrains. Stuivenga maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, workforce staffing, and technical consulting services essential to maintaining operational readiness. The procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in forestry support, emergency medical logistics, and civil infrastructure, suggesting a collaborative, relationship-driven approach to vendor selection and performance management. Stuivenga demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 59% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses and a significant 35.6% allocated specifically to HUBZone firms. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic development in underserved rural communities where the Forest Service operates. While small business set-asides dominate, the occasional use of service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides underscores a broader commitment to inclusive contracting practices under FAR Part 19. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), indicating expertise in ecological infrastructure, wildfire mitigation, and forest health projects. Additional activity in 541990 (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 561720 (Janitorial Services) reveals a broad operational scope, encompassing both field-based technical support and facility maintenance in remote ranger stations and visitor centers.
