Suzanne Hendrickson

Suzanne Hendrickson serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA Southwest 3 office, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain infrastructure integrity and ensure public safety across national forests and grasslands. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on specialty trade services and information technology solutions critical to operational readiness. Her work ensures timely delivery of essential services—from campground sanitation and waste management to digital resource platforms—that enable sustainable public access and environmental stewardship in remote, high-use areas. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts, from requirement development through award and performance monitoring, aligning procurements with federal regulations and agency priorities. Hendrickson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including LOCG LLC, Pamer & Pamer LLC, Fortazo Corp., and L1 Enterprises Incorporated, each of which provides specialized expertise in site-specific construction, environmental compliance, and digital service delivery. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and responsiveness to field conditions, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that support mission-critical operations. These contractors are frequently engaged for time-sensitive, geographically dispersed projects requiring adaptability and on-site execution. Her contracting portfolio reflects an equal split between small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals and competitive market access. While she actively leverages the FAR 19.5 small business set-aside program to promote participation from qualified small businesses, she also maintains flexibility to ensure mission needs are met with optimal capability and timeliness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), encompassing environmental cleanup, trail maintenance, and campground infrastructure, and NAICS 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), supporting digital resource management and public-facing information systems. This dual specialization underscores her expertise in bridging physical infrastructure needs with modern information technology solutions to enhance forest service operations.
