Ryna Russell

Ryna Russell supports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s FWS Sat Team 3 in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the conservation and operational needs of national wildlife refuges. She manages acquisitions for support services essential to habitat restoration, refuge maintenance, and wildlife law enforcement infrastructure, with a focus on environmental consulting, forestry support, and emergency equipment procurement. Her role ensures that contracting aligns with the agency’s ecological priorities, facilitating timely delivery of services that sustain critical wildlife ecosystems and public land operations. Ryna maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TABLE ROCK FORESTRY, INC., DANKO EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT CO., DDC 4C, LLC, THE PEREGRINE FUND, INC., and DOUBLE A HAULING INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized environmental service providers, equipment suppliers, and ecological research organizations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging vendor expertise in ecological remediation, wildlife monitoring, and logistical support to meet dynamic field requirements across refuge networks. Ryna demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 56% of her acquisitions set aside for total small business contracts under FAR 19.5. While no set-asides account for nearly half of her portfolio, her pattern consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, fostering equitable access for firms capable of delivering niche environmental and operational services. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy supports broader federal goals of inclusive economic opportunity within conservation-related industries. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting a technical domain rooted in ecological stewardship and refuge infrastructure upkeep. She routinely acquires specialized services such as invasive species management, habitat enhancement planning, and wildlife-safe equipment procurement, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational realities of federal land management and conservation science.
