RaShauna M. Workman

RaShauna M. Workman serves as a Procurement Clerk at the Malheur National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest health and enable responsible public use through efficient and compliant acquisition processes. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for operational and maintenance contracts, including preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with technical specialists, and ensuring adherence to FAR and USDA procurement policies. Her work directly enables critical field operations such as fuel reduction, trail maintenance, and ecological restoration by securing timely access to essential goods and services. She primarily handles low-to-mid-tier acquisitions for support activities, janitorial services, and infrastructure-related supplies, ensuring alignment with agency priorities and fiscal accountability. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Workman maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs and experienced in forestry support services. Her procurement patterns reflect close collaboration with local and regional small businesses, often coordinating with technical staff to evaluate vendor capabilities in environmental compliance, equipment maintenance, and field logistics. These partnerships are built on reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to federal environmental and safety standards. Workman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 58% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 10% designated for HUBZone firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to channel opportunities to economically disadvantaged and geographically targeted businesses, reinforcing USDA’s socioeconomic goals and community resilience objectives across rural Oregon. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which includes prescribed burn support, invasive species control, and forest inventory services. She also regularly procures janitorial services (561720) for visitor facilities and testing services (541380) for soil and water quality assessments. Her domain expertise lies in acquiring specialized, mission-critical services that directly support ecological restoration and public land stewardship.
