Ryan L Stone

Ryan Stone serves as a Technical Contracting Specialist within the USDA Forest Service, supporting mission-critical acquisitions related to infrastructure resilience and ecological restoration on federal lands. In this role, he provides technical oversight and procurement guidance for construction and civil works projects, ensuring compliance with federal standards for safety, sustainability, and operational readiness in remote terrain. His responsibilities include evaluating technical proposals, coordinating with engineering teams, and aligning contract requirements with the agency’s strategic priorities in wildfire mitigation and forest health. Stone primarily handles fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for specialized civil construction services. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, all of which provide specialized poured concrete and structural foundation services. His procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, adherence to USDA engineering specifications, and timely delivery in challenging environments. Stone collaborates closely with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in remote-site construction, seismic resilience, and erosion control infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Stone’s acquisition portfolio is fully aligned with Small Business Set-Aside preferences under FAR 19.5, with 100% of his contracts reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, locally rooted contractors capable of meeting the Forest Service’s rigorous technical demands in rugged, federally managed landscapes. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 238110—Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors—reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure for trails, firebreaks, guardrails, and structural supports critical to forest operations. He specializes in acquiring high-performance concrete systems, reinforced foundations, and erosion-resistant structures engineered for extreme weather and seismic conditions, ensuring long-term durability in ecologically sensitive areas.
