Robert Malyevac

Rob Malyevac serves as a Facilities Engineer with the USDA Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in planning, evaluating, and procuring infrastructure projects essential to maintaining operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. His responsibilities include managing acquisitions for facility construction, maintenance, and resilience upgrades in remote and rugged environments, ensuring compliance with federal building standards and environmental sustainability goals. Malyevac’s procurement activities directly support the agency’s mission of ecological stewardship and emergency response by securing the physical infrastructure needed for firefighter stations, visitor centers, and utility systems. He typically handles construction-related contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build and performance-based specifications tailored to high-risk, low-access terrains. Malyevac maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in federal land management environments, particularly those capable of delivering rapid-response infrastructure solutions under challenging conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to safety protocols, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Malyevac exhibits a strong, consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally rooted firms capable of operating in remote areas. His procurement patterns prioritize socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses to contribute meaningfully to federal infrastructure goals, reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader equity and community engagement objectives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). He specializes in procuring facility upgrades, access road improvements, and mechanical systems that support mission-critical operations in wilderness and rural settings, demonstrating deep technical expertise in infrastructure resilience and field-deployable construction solutions.
