Tiffany Atchison

Tiffany Atchison serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forests and grasslands through strategic acquisitions of critical infrastructure and engineering services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and technical contracts focused on enhancing ecological resilience, wildfire mitigation, and public access infrastructure. Her work centers on awarding contracts for highway, bridge, and institutional building construction, ensuring alignment with federal land management priorities and regulatory compliance under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Atchison’s acquisitions directly enable the Forest Service’s operational capacity across remote and high-risk federal lands. She maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, reflecting a preference for specialized firms capable of delivering field-ready construction, staffing, and technical support services in challenging environments. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and contractor reliability, particularly for mission-critical projects requiring rapid mobilization and compliance with environmental and safety standards. Atchison demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 76.3% of her awards structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, underscoring a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally rooted vendors. While 8(a) competed set-asides represent a minor portion of her portfolio, her overall pattern reflects a robust emphasis on fostering small business participation across multiple socioeconomic categories, consistent with federal goals for equitable contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and engineering services (541330). She routinely acquires civil engineering, surveying, and heavy construction services essential to maintaining transportation corridors, visitor facilities, and forest infrastructure on federal lands, demonstrating deep expertise in public works procurement within complex ecological and geographic contexts.
