Sandy Kaminski serves as a Range Management Specialist with the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring specialized services to sustain the ecological integrity and operational readiness of national forest and grassland systems. Her responsibilities include managing acquisitions for land stewardship activities such as invasive species control, wildfire mitigation infrastructure, and remote terrain maintenance. She aligns procurement actions with the agency’s mission of ecological restoration and emergency response, ensuring that contracted services meet rigorous environmental and safety standards. Kaminski primarily handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for specialty trade services critical to maintaining forest infrastructure in rugged, often inaccessible environments. Kaminski maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, 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 niche service providers capable of delivering expert labor, temporary staffing, and technical support tailored to field-based resource management operations. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and on-demand scalability, particularly for roles requiring specialized ecological knowledge or emergency response readiness in remote locations. Kaminski demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on fostering economic opportunity among small, locally rooted firms with proven capabilities in land management support services. Her procurement approach prioritizes socioeconomic equity, ensuring that small businesses with relevant expertise in specialty trade contracting are consistently engaged across her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 238990, All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, encompassing services such as brush clearing, trail maintenance, erosion control, and temporary staffing for field crews. She specializes in acquiring highly technical, labor-intensive support services essential to sustaining forest health and public safety on federal lands, requiring deep domain knowledge in ecological operations and remote-site logistics.
