Sarah Martinez

Sarah Martinez serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 3 Southwestern Regional Office, overseeing the acquisition of critical environmental and facility support services essential to public land stewardship. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on janitorial and sanitation services that sustain visitor facilities, trailheads, and infrastructure across federally managed lands. Her role ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission of sustainable forest management and public access. Martinez specializes in service-based procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on operational continuity and environmental hygiene standards. Her primary contractor relationship is with GERMRIP LLC, a vendor consistently selected to deliver comprehensive janitorial and facility maintenance services across remote and high-traffic public land sites. Martinez cultivates long-term, performance-based partnerships with this contractor, prioritizing reliability, safety compliance, and responsiveness to seasonal operational demands. Her contracting approach favors established vendors with proven track records in managing complex, geographically dispersed service requirements under stringent environmental and public health protocols. Martinez 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 deliberate strategy to empower small, locally based service providers and foster economic resilience within rural and underserved communities adjacent to federal lands. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic objectives, ensuring that small business awards contribute meaningfully to regional workforce development and equitable opportunity. Her technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing custodial, waste management, restroom sanitation, and environmental cleaning operations tailored to outdoor and rustic facilities. She specializes in procuring services that meet USDA and EPA standards for public health, accessibility, and ecological sensitivity, ensuring that maintenance activities support both visitor experience and environmental integrity.
