Nestor Rivera Gonzalez

Nestor Rivera Gonzalez serves as a Purchasing Agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies that support the agency’s mission of ecological stewardship and infrastructure resilience. He manages the procurement of goods and services essential to maintaining national forest systems, with a focus on facility operations, transportation corridors, and support services that enable wildfire mitigation and public access. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with federal procurement regulations to ensure timely, compliant, and mission-driven outcomes across vast federal lands. Rivera Gonzalez 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 reliance on specialized service providers in staffing, technical support, and facility management. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability and regulatory compliance, often engaging vendors with proven track records in federal environmental and infrastructure support services. A defining feature of his contracting activity is a 100% commitment to Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a steadfast dedication to socioeconomic inclusion. He consistently channels all procurements toward small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities and reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader goals of community engagement and economic development in rural and underserved regions. His procurement focus is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 531110—Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings—indicating a specialized need for temporary or permanent housing solutions for field personnel, seasonal workers, and emergency response teams operating in remote forest service locations. This specialization reflects deep technical expertise in logistical support infrastructure, where housing and facility leasing are not ancillary but mission-critical components of operational readiness.
