Tammy Perrine

Tammy Perrine serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems through strategic acquisitions of engineering, aviation, and land management services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure rehabilitation, ecological restoration, and aerial support operations, ensuring alignment with federal environmental stewardship goals. Her work directly enables critical field operations including wildfire response, watershed protection, and invasive species control by facilitating timely access to specialized technical and logistical resources. Perrine’s acquisitions are structured to support science-based land management and long-term landscape resilience. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Perimeter Solutions LP, Management & Engineering Technologies International Inc., Helicopter Transport Services, LLC, Aero-Flite, Inc., and Helicopter Express LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in wildfire suppression, aerial firefighting, and ecological engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety, and operational readiness, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in federal land management environments and emergency response protocols. Perrine exhibits a strong, consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, community-based firms capable of delivering specialized services on federal forest lands. Her contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic inclusion, ensuring that small businesses—particularly those with niche technical capabilities in land management and aviation support—have equitable access to federal opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services). She routinely acquires civil infrastructure improvements, site-specific ecological design, and habitat restoration services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with forest service infrastructure standards and environmental compliance requirements. Her expertise ensures that construction and land management contracts meet rigorous ecological and safety benchmarks.
