Mary Denise Kusnir

Mary Denise Kusnir serves as a Project Manager within the USDA Forest Service, where she oversees the acquisition and execution of mission-critical support services essential to maintaining operational readiness across federal forest and grassland lands. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on janitorial and facility support services, enabling the agency to maintain sanitary, safe, and functional environments in remote and high-traffic public use areas. Kusnir maintains consistent working 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 reflect a preference for vendors capable of delivering specialized, on-site cleaning and facility maintenance services tailored to the unique demands of federal land management operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, scalability, and adherence to environmental and safety standards in challenging terrains. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern ensures that contracting opportunities are exclusively reserved for small businesses, fostering economic development and workforce inclusion within the communities surrounding national forests. Her procurement strategy reflects a deliberate alignment with socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility and performance capability over large contractor bids. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine cleaning, waste management, sanitization, and facility upkeep for administrative offices, visitor centers, and field stations. Kusnir’s expertise lies in procuring high-integrity, low-impact cleaning solutions that support both public health and environmental stewardship objectives across the Forest Service’s vast and diverse landholdings.
