Stevie Fehrs

Stevie Fehrs serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 2 office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain ecological resilience and operational readiness across national forest lands. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions aligned with forest health, infrastructure maintenance, and field operations, Fehrs oversees contracts for specialized services critical to public safety and resource stewardship. Their procurement portfolio emphasizes technical and logistical support functions that enable field crews, survey teams, and maintenance units to execute mission-critical tasks under challenging environmental conditions. Fehrs maintains a consistent working relationship with GONZALEZ FORESTRY INC., a primary vendor providing forestry and land management services. This partnership reflects a pattern of long-term collaboration with contractors skilled in ecological restoration, fuel reduction, and wildland fire support. The procurement approach prioritizes vendors with proven field expertise and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards, fostering reliable, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in operational necessity rather than transactional contracting. Fehrs demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of eligible acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This policy ensures that small, locally rooted enterprises have equitable access to federal contracts supporting forest stewardship. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with USDA’s socioeconomic goals, promoting economic development in rural communities while maintaining high standards of service delivery. The procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 561720 (janitorial services for remote field stations), 541360 (geophysical surveying and mapping for land use planning), and 333120 (construction machinery for infrastructure repair). Though analytical instrumentation and motor vehicle parts manufacturing appear in the portfolio, these reflect niche requirements for specialized equipment used in ecological monitoring and fleet maintenance. Fehrs’s expertise lies in bridging technical operational needs with compliant, small business-led solutions that enhance forest service capacity.
