Olivia Garcia

Olivia Garcia serves as the Technical Point of Contact for the White River National Forest, where she provides critical technical oversight for environmental remediation and ecological restoration acquisitions. In this role, she bridges operational needs with procurement strategy, ensuring that contracts align with the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecosystem resilience and public land stewardship. She is deeply involved in the technical evaluation and requirements development for projects related to post-fire vegetation recovery, invasive species control, and infrastructure maintenance, typically handling service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 36 and Part 19. Her expertise ensures that technical specifications are precise, compliant, and aligned with federal environmental standards. Olivia consistently collaborates with FRONTIER TINY HOMES, LLC and GERMRIP LLC, two specialized vendors with demonstrated capability in ecological restoration and environmental engineering services. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging niche, technically proficient contractors capable of executing complex, site-specific remediation tasks under challenging terrain and climatic conditions. Her working relationships are built on long-term trust, with a preference for vendors who bring field-tested methodologies and adaptive solutions to forest recovery challenges. She maintains a strict 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference across all acquisitions, fully embracing FAR 19.5 to maximize opportunities for small businesses in environmental services. This commitment ensures that contracting activity supports economic development in rural communities while maintaining high technical standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes socioeconomic equity without compromising mission-critical outcomes. Olivia’s technical focus centers on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her portfolio, including soil stabilization, hazardous material removal, and native plant reintroduction. The remaining third falls under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), encompassing ecological assessments, wildlife impact studies, and restoration planning. Her domain expertise lies in applied forest ecology and post-disturbance recovery, making her a key technical authority in delivering ecologically sound, federally compliant environmental contracts.
