Renee Beams

Renee Beams serves as a key procurement professional within the Deschutes National Forest, part of the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture, where she manages acquisitions critical to maintaining operational readiness and ecological stewardship. Her responsibilities center on executing contracts that support facility maintenance, public safety, and resource protection across central Oregon’s forest lands. She specializes in janitorial and custodial services procurement, ensuring that visitor centers, ranger stations, and administrative facilities meet federal cleanliness and hygiene standards while aligning with sustainable operations goals. Beams plays a vital role in translating agency mission priorities into compliant, efficient contracting actions that uphold environmental and public health standards. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Beams maintains a consistent contracting pattern with small business vendors who provide janitorial and facility support services tailored to remote, high-use forest sites. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to federal environmental protocols, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of operating in rugged, low-infrastructure environments. She prioritizes vendors with experience in federal land management settings and those capable of meeting strict biosecurity and waste disposal requirements. Beams demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities within the National Forest System. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 561720—Janitorial Services—encompassing routine cleaning, waste removal, sanitization, and facility upkeep for federal buildings and public-use infrastructure. She has developed deep expertise in procuring services that support both operational continuity and public health compliance in sensitive ecological zones, ensuring that maintenance activities do not compromise cultural resources or natural habitats.
