Steven Parrish

Steven Parrish serves as Project Manager for the USDA Forest Service, where he oversees the acquisition and management of critical infrastructure support services essential to maintaining national forest operations. In this role, he ensures that procurement activities align with the agency’s mission of ecological stewardship and public land accessibility, focusing on logistical and mobility solutions that enable field operations, wildfire response, and facility maintenance. Parrish manages a portfolio of non-construction, equipment-related acquisitions, primarily centered on vehicle and trailer leasing to support ranger patrols, equipment transport, and emergency response across remote federal lands. His primary contractor relationship is with 358 INVESTMENTS, LLC, a vendor with proven expertise in providing specialized truck, utility trailer, and recreational vehicle leasing services tailored to federal land management needs. Parrish consistently engages this partner to deliver scalable, mission-critical mobility assets that meet rigorous federal specifications for durability, off-road capability, and compliance with environmental and safety standards. His contracting pattern reflects a preference for long-term, performance-based agreements that ensure operational continuity and fleet reliability across diverse terrains. Parrish’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing vendor performance, asset availability, and service-level guarantees to meet the Forest Service’s urgent and often time-sensitive field requirements. His primary NAICS classification is 532120, indicating deep specialization in truck, utility trailer, and RV leasing and rental services. He procures mission-ready mobility platforms—including heavy-duty utility trailers, all-terrain vehicles, and modular support units—that enable forest service personnel to conduct trail maintenance, fuel transport, and fire suppression logistics. His expertise lies in evaluating vehicle specifications, maintenance protocols, and fleet lifecycle management to ensure compliance with federal environmental and safety regulations in high-use, ecologically sensitive areas.
