Shannon Pozas

Shannon Pozas serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining operational readiness across national forests and grasslands. Responsible for managing contracts that support ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains, Pozas ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable land management. Their portfolio primarily focuses on specialized building equipment contracting services essential for facility maintenance, emergency response systems, and field operations infrastructure, often in high-risk or logistically challenging environments. Pozas 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 strategic emphasis on niche service providers delivering specialized labor, technical support, and equipment installation services tailored to forest service needs. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for firms with proven expertise in remote-site logistics, emergency medical support, and mission-critical infrastructure deployment, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and regulatory compliance. Pozas demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally rooted enterprises capable of delivering responsive, mission-aligned services in underserved rural and wilderness areas. There is no indication of use for other socioeconomic categories—such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—suggesting a focused approach centered exclusively on broad small business inclusion. The primary NAICS classification for all acquisitions is 238290, Other Building Equipment Contractors, underscoring a technical specialization in the installation, maintenance, and repair of specialized mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems used in forest service facilities. This includes HVAC, water treatment units, generator systems, and safety equipment critical to sustaining operations in isolated, high-altitude, or fire-prone regions.
