Michael (Ryan) Green

Michael (Ryan) Green serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the USDA Forest Service’s Incident Procurement unit, supporting rapid-response acquisitions for wildland fire and all-hazard incidents. Though not a primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating the flow of mission-critical resources—such as mobile command units, heavy equipment, temporary housing, and water systems—to incident management teams across national forests and grasslands. His responsibilities include coordinating with primary contracting officers, validating requirement specifications, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations during time-sensitive procurements. He operates within a high-tempo environment where agility and interagency collaboration are essential to sustaining operational readiness. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly documented, Green works closely with a diverse network of vendors specializing in emergency response logistics, mobile infrastructure, and tactical equipment supply. His engagement patterns suggest consistent collaboration with firms experienced in federal emergency contracting, including those with pre-negotiated blanket purchase agreements and rapid-response contract vehicles such as GSA Schedule 84 and the Incident Support Contracts. He fosters relationships with both large defense and logistics contractors and nimble small businesses capable of mobilizing assets on short notice. Though set-aside data is unavailable, his role inherently supports the agency’s statutory commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a documented institutional preference for 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms capable of delivering specialized incident support services. His contributions align with broader USDA goals to expand small business participation in mission-critical procurement, particularly in underserved rural and tribal communities where incident response infrastructure is most needed. Green’s industry focus centers on NAICS categories related to emergency management services, temporary lodging, heavy construction equipment rental, and mobile command systems. His technical expertise lies in procuring deployable infrastructure and logistical support systems that meet stringent federal standards for durability, mobility, and interoperability in austere environments.
