Rick Oyler

Rick Oyler serves as a Resource Management Specialist within the USDA Forest Service (Agency Code: 1282A7), where he plays a pivotal role in managing procurement activities that support operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and administering contracts for critical supplies and services essential to ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains. Oyler specializes in acquiring agricultural and forestry inputs, ensuring that field operations have timely access to essential materials while aligning with federal acquisition regulations and agency sustainability goals. Oyler maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, 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 focus on specialized supply chain support, workforce services, and technical logistics tailored to the unique demands of federal land management. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to mission-critical needs in austere environments. A defining feature of Oyler’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to small business participation. All of his acquisitions are reserved for small businesses, fostering economic opportunity and enhancing the agency’s socioeconomic contracting goals without reliance on other set-aside categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 424910—Farm Supplies Merchant Wholesalers—reflecting deep expertise in sourcing agricultural inputs, forestry equipment, pest control materials, and related supplies essential to land management operations. This specialization underscores his technical command of supply chains supporting ecological health, invasive species management, and sustainable resource use across federal lands.
