Shirley Collier-Crisp

Shirley Collier-Crisp serves as a Contract Officer for the USDA Forest Service, where she manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to sustaining national forest and grassland ecosystems. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts in support of wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, infrastructure resilience, and operational readiness across remote and rugged terrains. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission through timely, efficient, and legally sound procurement practices. Her acquisitions typically involve professional services, site preparation, security, and janitorial support essential to field operations and facility maintenance. Collier-Crisp 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 span staffing solutions, technical consulting, security systems, and specialized forestry support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, performance history, and alignment with the Forest Service’s operational needs, fostering long-term, mission-critical collaborations that ensure continuity in remote and high-risk environments. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively leverages 8(a) competed set-asides to promote economic opportunity for disadvantaged businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy—prioritizing small business inclusion without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 561621 (Security Systems Services), 541990 (Professional and Technical Services), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors). These categories reflect her expertise in securing services that enable field operations, environmental compliance, and workforce support, particularly in areas requiring specialized knowledge of federal land management and emergency response protocols.
