Technical: Martin Badertscher

Martin Badertscher serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 1 office, overseeing contract execution for critical infrastructure and operational support in remote forest environments. His responsibilities include managing acquisitions for transportation systems, utility maintenance, and ranger facility upgrades essential to sustaining national forest operations. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission of ecosystem stewardship and public safety. Badertscher routinely handles complex, mission-critical contracts requiring technical coordination across engineering, environmental, and logistics disciplines, often under challenging geographic and seasonal constraints. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DIVCO INC, KMB VENTURES, LLC, NORTHERN PURCHASE SERVICES, LLC, YPCB, LLC, and NORMONT EQUIPMENT CO., all of whom provide specialized services in equipment maintenance, materials supply, and field-based infrastructure support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term reliability, responsiveness to remote-site demands, and proven expertise in rugged-environment logistics. Badertscher prioritizes vendors with demonstrated capability in delivering timely, high-integrity solutions under austere conditions, fostering collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships. Badertscher’s procurement portfolio is fully aligned with small business set-aside requirements, with 100% of his acquisitions designated for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, locally rooted enterprises capable of operating in rural and underserved regions. His contracting patterns consistently favor small businesses with proven experience in forestry support, equipment servicing, and field logistics, reinforcing the agency’s goal of building resilient, community-based supply chains. His technical domain centers on procurement for forest infrastructure, including road and trail maintenance systems, utility installations, and operational equipment. While specific NAICS codes are not available, his acquisitions consistently involve services related to construction, heavy equipment repair, materials supply, and environmental compliance support—all essential to sustaining the Forest Service’s operational readiness in the Intermountain West.
