Sierra Hellstrom

Sierra Hellstrom serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 4 Intermountain Regional Office, overseeing the acquisition of critical support services essential to federal forest land management. Responsible for executing contracts that enable operational readiness, infrastructure stewardship, and wildfire resilience initiatives, Hellstrom manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on field-based logistics, facility operations, and environmental support functions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain healthy forest ecosystems while ensuring safe public access and efficient resource deployment across remote and high-risk landscapes. Hellstrom collaborates with a broad network of vendors specializing in forestry support, land management, and specialized equipment services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with small businesses capable of delivering field-responsive services—from aerial support logistics to facility maintenance and land rehabilitation. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, requiring vendors to demonstrate technical proficiency in rugged terrain operations and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards. Hellstrom maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all procurements, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 and demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly through 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business certifications, ensuring that contracting opportunities directly benefit underserved communities and local economies tied to forest-dependent regions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting a technical domain rooted in operational infrastructure and environmental maintenance. She procures specialized equipment, mobile work units, vegetation management services, and facility support systems tailored to the unique demands of federal forest lands, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-critical, non-commodity procurement within the natural resource sector.
