Tina Marian

Tina Marian serves as a Technical Contracting Specialist within the USDA Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in procuring specialized equipment and technical services essential to forest management and operational resilience. Her responsibilities include evaluating technical requirements, drafting solicitation documents, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for field-deployable resources. She primarily supports acquisitions related to wildfire response, ecological restoration, and infrastructure maintenance in remote environments, ensuring that technical specifications align with field operational needs. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to sustain forest health and enhance emergency preparedness across national lands. Tina consistently collaborates 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. These partnerships reflect a blend of niche technical service providers, specialized equipment distributors, and workforce support firms. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability and domain-specific expertise, particularly in deploying personnel and machinery suited to rugged, off-grid conditions. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments and maintains a collaborative, requirement-driven procurement approach. Tina’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business participation, as all her acquisitions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to empowering small businesses, particularly those with technical capabilities in forestry, equipment distribution, and field support services. She actively cultivates relationships with small business contractors capable of meeting the unique demands of federal land operations, reinforcing the agency’s socioeconomic goals through inclusive contracting practices. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 423820, which encompasses farm and garden machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers. She specializes in acquiring heavy-duty land management equipment, brush control tools, irrigation systems, and forestry-specific machinery. Her technical expertise lies in ensuring procurement specifications meet rigorous environmental and safety standards for use in wildland and remote settings, bridging commercial product capabilities with federal operational requirements.
