Mary JoResendez

Mary Jo Resendez serves as a Procurement Technician within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through efficient and compliant acquisition processes. In this role, she executes day-to-day procurement activities for critical infrastructure and operational support services, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and agency priorities such as wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and emergency response readiness. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, administering contract modifications, and coordinating with program managers to fulfill mission-critical needs in remote and rugged terrains. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions tied to facility maintenance and environmental operations. Resendez 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 are centered on specialized technical services, particularly in plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems essential to maintaining operational facilities across national forests. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor engagement with firms that demonstrate proven expertise in serving federal land management needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a clear preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing vendor qualifications and service delivery capacity above certification status. Resendez’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 238220 — Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors — reflecting deep specialization in HVAC and mechanical systems procurement. She consistently acquires services related to facility maintenance, climate control, and infrastructure resilience for remote ranger stations, visitor centers, and emergency response hubs, demonstrating technical expertise in environmental control systems critical to operational continuity on federal lands.
