Venus Jensen

Venus Jensen serves as the Technical Point of Contact for the Cibola National Forest, a unit of the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. In this role, she provides critical technical oversight for acquisitions that support forest health, wildfire mitigation, and public infrastructure resilience. She collaborates closely with contracting specialists to define performance requirements, evaluate technical proposals, and ensure compliance with environmental and operational standards. Her work directly enables field operations by securing essential services and equipment tied to water systems, sanitation infrastructure, and maintenance logistics, ensuring that procurement aligns with the agency’s mission of sustainable land stewardship and public safety. Jensen maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including RELIANCE CONTRACTORS INC and ALERTWEST, INC, both of which have demonstrated consistent capability in delivering field-responsive solutions. She works closely with these vendors to ensure technical alignment on complex infrastructure projects, particularly those involving water supply systems and environmental compliance. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor reliability, fostering partnerships built on technical transparency and accountability rather than transactional exchanges. Her procurement portfolio is entirely structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to fostering economic opportunity within underserved communities. She prioritizes participation from small businesses certified under HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and other socioeconomic programs, ensuring that contracting opportunities directly support rural and local economic development in the Southwest region. Jensen’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), 423420 (Office Equipment Merchant Wholesalers), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), reflecting her focus on integrated water infrastructure, field equipment procurement, and civil works related to forest sanitation and recreation zones. She specializes in acquiring technically complex systems that support operational continuity in remote, high-use forest areas, ensuring that procurement decisions are grounded in environmental sustainability and field-ready functionality.
