Racheal Koke

Racheal Koke supports the At-Incident Management Support Branch of the U.S. Forest Service by managing critical procurement operations that enable rapid, on-site logistical response during wildland fire incidents and other emergency operations. Responsible for acquiring essential services that sustain incident personnel at the operational frontlines, she ensures timely delivery of meals, hydration, sanitation, mobility, and power solutions under time-sensitive, high-stakes conditions. Her role is central to the branch’s mission of maintaining operational continuity through agile, field-deployable support, requiring deep familiarity with emergency response contracting protocols and rapid acquisition authorities under FAR Part 18. Koke collaborates with a dynamic network of vendors specializing in incident support logistics, including providers of mobile food service units, portable sanitation systems, and tactical vehicle leasing. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with small businesses capable of mobilizing resources on short notice, often under task order or IDIQ mechanisms. Her working relationships emphasize responsiveness, scalability, and compliance with federal emergency acquisition standards, fostering partnerships with vendors who can operate in austere, remote environments. She maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference across all solicitations, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting under FAR 19.5. This policy prioritizes participation by small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, ensuring equitable access to federal emergency response contracts and reinforcing the agency’s mission of inclusive resilience. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 532120 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing), underscoring expertise in field logistics, mobile support units, and incident-specific transportation infrastructure. She routinely acquires mobile kitchens, water purification units, portable power generators, and specialized trailers designed for wildland fire operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in emergency incident support systems and their operational deployment.
