Syreeta L Gill

Syreeta L. Gill serves as a Procurement Technician for the USDA Forest Service–SPOC NW, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and restore national forest ecosystems through strategic acquisition of infrastructure, ecological, and public safety services. She plays a critical role in executing solicitations, managing contract administration, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations for projects ranging from trail and bridge rehabilitation to reforestation and remote facility maintenance. Her work directly enables the delivery of mission-critical services that enhance public access while preserving natural resources, with a focus on timely, compliant, and efficient contract execution across diverse technical domains. While specific contractor names are not available, Gill collaborates with a broad network of vendors specializing in forestry support, civil construction, and environmental services. She fosters relationships with firms capable of delivering specialized services in remote and ecologically sensitive areas, often requiring expertise in sustainable practices, erosion control, and wildfire resilience infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical competency, and adherence to environmental stewardship standards, ensuring that contractors meet the unique operational demands of federal forest lands. Gill demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a clear preference for small business participation. Nearly 50% of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, but she consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, followed by HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to amplify opportunities for disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms. Smaller allocations are directed toward 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns, aligning with agency goals to promote equitable economic development in rural and forest-adjacent communities. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which dominates her portfolio, followed by Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310) and Logging (113310). She regularly procures services related to forest thinning, fuel reduction, trail construction, concrete structures for recreational infrastructure, and ecological restoration, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and regulatory nuances of federal land management contracting.
