Mike Leverick

Mike Leverick serves as a Project Manager within the USDA Forest Service, where he leads the planning, execution, and oversight of mission-critical acquisitions supporting forest health, wildfire mitigation, and ecological restoration initiatives. His role centers on translating operational needs into compliant, performance-based contracts that ensure the agency’s readiness in remote and rugged terrains. Leverick routinely manages procurements under NAICS 115310 for support activities in forestry, including wildfire suppression logistics, invasive species management, trail and infrastructure maintenance, and field workforce mobilization. He works closely with field personnel and resource specialists to define technical requirements, evaluate vendor capabilities, and ensure contractual deliverables align with federal land management objectives. Leverick 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 focus on specialized technical services—ranging from temporary staffing for seasonal fire crews and medical support in remote areas to advanced logistics and technology integration for field operations. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, rapid response capability, and domain-specific expertise over broad-scale vendor diversity, resulting in repeat engagements with contractors proven effective in high-stakes, low-access environments. Leverick’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a strategic focus on capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, his selections are driven by the specialized nature of forestry support services, where only a limited pool of vendors possess the operational experience required for federal land management missions. His primary technical domain is NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—where he procures services such as prescribed burning assistance, vegetation management, wildlife habitat enhancement, and emergency response coordination. Leverick’s expertise lies in securing mission-critical, on-demand support that sustains the Forest Service’s operational resilience across national forests and grasslands.
