Michelle Hanneman

Michelle Hanneman serves as a Contracting Officer for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to ecological restoration and public safety. Her portfolio encompasses contracts for prescribed fire operations, invasive species management, reforestation, and forest infrastructure maintenance, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to enhance ecosystem resilience across southern Oregon and northern California. She specializes in acquiring technical services and specialized equipment to support field operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship goals. Hanneman maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Linville Enterprises, LLC, S365 Inc., Grayback Forestry, Inc., Logistics365 Inc., and Sprout Forestry Incorporated. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in forestry support services, logistics coordination, and ecological restoration. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who bring field-tested capabilities and adaptive solutions tailored to rugged, remote terrain and dynamic fire-adapted landscapes. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Hanneman directs 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for disadvantaged and locally rooted enterprises. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, consistently awarding contracts to small businesses capable of delivering specialized forestry, landscaping, and security services without reliance on large prime contractors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Support Activities for Forestry (115310), with significant activity in Landscaping Services (561730), Security Guards and Patrol Services (561612), and related industrial supply chains. This reflects her deep technical familiarity with on-the-ground forest management needs, from vegetation control and trail maintenance to equipment logistics and perimeter security for sensitive ecological sites. Her expertise lies in aligning procurement outcomes with operational realities in fire-prone, ecologically sensitive regions.
