Pam Cooper

Pam Cooper serves as a Forestry Technician with the USDA Forest Service, playing a critical role in supporting operational readiness and ecological stewardship across federal forest lands. In her capacity, she facilitates the acquisition of specialized services essential to forest health management, wildfire mitigation, and invasive species control. Her procurement activities center on contracting for technical support services that enable field operations in remote and rugged terrain, including vegetation management, trail maintenance, and ecological monitoring. Cooper works closely with program managers and field crews to translate mission-critical needs into targeted solicitations that ensure timely, compliant, and effective resource deployment. Her primary contractor relationships include ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on firms providing specialized forestry support, labor services, and technical consulting tailored to federal land management requirements. Cooper’s procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors possessing domain-specific expertise in silviculture, fire ecology, and field logistics, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in regulatory compliance and mission alignment. Cooper maintains a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside preference across all her procurements, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, ensuring that contracts for forestry support services are reserved exclusively for small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and other small business programs. This pattern reinforces the Forest Service’s broader mission to empower local and regional economic development through targeted federal spending. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—encompassing services such as timber stand improvement, prescribed burn support, pest detection and control, and forest inventory coordination.
