Tonya Bierly

Tonya B serves as Fleet Manager for the Lolo National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, overseeing the acquisition, maintenance, and lifecycle management of all agency vehicle and heavy equipment assets. In this role, she ensures operational readiness for critical forest management activities—including fire response, trail maintenance, and infrastructure repair—by aligning procurement decisions with agency priorities in ecological stewardship and public safety. Her acquisitions are primarily centered on automotive repair, fleet maintenance, and specialized vehicle servicing, requiring technical expertise in heavy-duty mechanical systems and compliance with federal motor vehicle standards. Tonya maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Quality Construction Co., YOY INC, Century Warehousing, Inc., Oregon Woods, Inc., and the County of Kootenai. These partners provide specialized services such as fleet repair, parts logistics, equipment refurbishment, and mobile maintenance support tailored to remote, off-road environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, rapid response capability, and geographic proximity to ensure timely service across the forest’s vast and often inaccessible terrain. Tonya exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, directing 100% of her procurements to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering local economic resilience and maximizing opportunities for small, community-based vendors with demonstrated expertise in rural fleet operations. Her contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic inclusion without compromising operational standards. Her procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 811198—All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance—reflecting deep specialization in non-dealer, third-party maintenance of heavy-duty, off-road, and all-terrain vehicles. She procures services ranging from engine overhauls and hydraulic system repairs to snowplow and brush hog attachments, demonstrating technical fluency in the unique demands of federal land management fleets operating in high-wear, low-infrastructure environments.
