Vicky Mugnai

Vicky Mugnai serves as a Procurement Technician for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to restore and sustain forest ecosystems across southern Oregon and northern California. In this role, she executes end-to-end acquisition processes for critical operational services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations under FAR and agency-specific policies. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, managing contract modifications, and coordinating with program managers to align procurement activities with ecological restoration goals. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions related to forest management support, with a strong emphasis on janitorial and facility maintenance services essential to public access and operational readiness. Mugnai maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Linville Enterprises, LLC, S365 Inc, Grayback Forestry, Inc., Logistics365 Inc, and Sprout Forestry Incorporated. These vendors are frequently selected for their proven capacity to deliver specialized environmental support services, including vegetation management, debris removal, and infrastructure upkeep. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, technical proficiency, and familiarity with remote, ecologically sensitive work environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance and compliance. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower local and regional small businesses with the capacity to support federal land management objectives, enhancing economic resilience in rural communities. Her contracting patterns consistently favor small businesses without further socioeconomic subcategories, indicating a broad-based support model aligned with agency-wide goals. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which encompasses custodial, sanitation, and facility maintenance tasks vital to visitor centers, ranger stations, and field offices. While seemingly administrative, these services are foundational to public safety, resource protection, and operational continuity in remote forest settings, requiring technical understanding of environmental health standards and seasonal operational demands.
