Mark Meng

Mark Meng serves as Branch Chief within the USDA Forest Service, overseeing procurement operations critical to sustaining the nation’s forest and grassland ecosystems. In this leadership role, he directs the acquisition of specialized services and infrastructure support essential to wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and operational readiness in remote terrains. His portfolio includes contracting for personnel services, medical support, and facility maintenance, ensuring the agency maintains mission-critical capabilities across its vast landholdings. Meng aligns acquisitions with strategic priorities in forest health, emergency response, and workforce resilience, applying federal procurement regulations to deliver timely, compliant solutions under complex logistical constraints. Meng maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, and THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, which provide essential staffing and clinical services. He also partners with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC and GONDO ROY E MD to fulfill specialized medical and technical support needs. These vendor relationships reflect a pattern of sustained engagement with firms capable of delivering niche, on-demand services—particularly in behavioral health, primary care, and remote-area medical logistics—aligned with the Forest Service’s mobile and field-based workforce requirements. Meng demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 91.7% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged and community-based vendors, fostering local economic resilience while ensuring access to qualified, responsive contractors. His contracting patterns consistently favor small businesses over large prime contractors, reinforcing the agency’s socioeconomic goals and promoting equitable opportunity in federal procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621210 (Dental Services) and 621330 (Mental Health Practitioners), each accounting for one-third of his portfolio, underscoring his emphasis on behavioral and oral health services for field personnel. Additional activity in 621111 (Physician Offices) and construction-related codes like 238160 and 238340 indicates a dual focus on workforce health and infrastructure maintenance, reflecting the agency’s integrated approach to personnel readiness and land management.
