Technical POC: Mike Frost

Mike Frost serves as the Technical Point of Contact for the Csa Intermountain 1 USDA-FS, providing critical technical oversight and procurement guidance for infrastructure maintenance and operational support contracts within the U.S. Forest Service. He plays a central role in translating mission-critical needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring that acquisitions align with the agency’s mandate to sustain forest ecosystem health and maintain functional facilities in remote, high-risk environments. Frost specializes in managing service-based procurements focused on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems essential to ranger stations, visitor centers, and utility infrastructure across the Intermountain region. His primary contractor relationships include DIVCO INC, KMB VENTURES, LLC, NORTHERN PURCHASE SERVICES, LLC, and YPCB, LLC—established small businesses with proven expertise in commercial and federal HVAC and mechanical systems installation. Frost fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships with these vendors, emphasizing reliability, compliance with federal construction standards, and rapid response to field operational demands. His engagement model prioritizes long-term vendor alignment with agency safety and sustainability goals. Frost maintains a strict 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, consistently directing all eligible acquisitions to small business concerns without regard to specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, as long as the firm qualifies as a small business. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to expanding economic opportunity in rural and underserved communities where Forest Service operations are concentrated. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—reflecting specialized technical expertise in mechanical systems for federal facilities. He procures comprehensive HVAC services including installation, maintenance, retrofitting, and energy-efficient upgrades tailored to harsh environmental conditions, ensuring operational continuity and compliance with federal energy and environmental mandates.
