Ramona M Romo-Garza

Ramona M. Romo-Garza serves as a Contract Specialist within the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission of managing national forests and grasslands through operational readiness, ecological restoration, and emergency response capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with strategic resource management goals. Her acquisitions primarily support technical services, information technology infrastructure, and specialized staffing solutions essential for maintaining forest health and public safety in remote environments. Romo-Garza maintains established relationships with a focused 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 firms capable of delivering IT support, workforce staffing, and specialized technical consulting services tailored to the unique operational demands of federal land management. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in delivering mission-critical services under challenging field conditions, often requiring rapid mobilization and regulatory compliance in sensitive ecological zones. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 90% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, while maintaining a consistent 10% commitment to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a balanced approach that emphasizes broad market access while intentionally supporting socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses in alignment with federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), underscoring expertise in IT systems, data management, and communications infrastructure. She also regularly procures services under 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 423430 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers), demonstrating a technical proficiency in acquiring integrated solutions for forest service operations, including software support, network resilience, and equipment distribution tailored to rugged, off-grid environments.
