Mitchell Surplus

Mitchell Surplus serves as a key procurement lead within the Csa Northwest 3 USDA-FS, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest infrastructure and enhance ecological resilience across the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing acquisitions related to operational readiness, Surplus oversees contracts for maintenance, construction, and resource management services critical to road and trail systems, wildfire preparedness, and public safety infrastructure. Their procurement activities are strategically aligned with federal mandates to ensure efficient, compliant, and mission-driven acquisition of goods and services essential to federal land management operations. Surplus maintains consistent working relationships with HAMILTON EXCAVATION LLC and SPRING FOUNTAIN STUDIOS LLC, both of which provide specialized services aligned with forest land operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in site-specific environmental compliance, heavy equipment operations, and logistical support for remote federal properties. The working relationship is characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on contractors capable of delivering under challenging terrain and weather conditions typical of the region. All acquisitions managed by Surplus are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strict and unwavering commitment to small business participation. This approach ensures maximum economic opportunity for locally rooted, regionally based firms and reinforces the agency’s dedication to socioeconomic equity in federal contracting. No other set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a deliberate focus on small business as the sole source of vendor capability for this portfolio. The primary NAICS code utilized is 441227—Motorcycle, ATV, and All Other Motor Vehicle Dealers—indicating a specialized procurement focus on off-road vehicles, utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), and related maintenance equipment critical for accessing and servicing remote forest lands. This technical domain requires deep understanding of ruggedized vehicle systems, parts compatibility, and field-deployable support infrastructure, demonstrating Surplus’s expertise in procuring mission-critical mobility solutions for federal land management operations.
