Ecosystem Management Coordination

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Ecosystem Management Coordination is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that procures and manages contracts supporting ecosystem management coordination and natural resource stewardship activities. The office operates as a specialized contracting and program-management entity within the Forest Service's broader organizational structure.

Contract activity at the Ecosystem Management Coordination office is minimal and episodic. Since 2017, the office has awarded 3 federal contracts with a combined potential value of $2.1 million. Recent activity shows 1 award in 2024 and 1 award in 2025, with $948 thousand obligated to date (46% of combined potential value). The portfolio reflects very limited procurement volume, with gaps of multiple years between awards and only three distinct prime contractors in the entire history.

Competition is highly concentrated by dollar value. Management & Engineering Technologies International Inc. holds $1.9 million of the $2.1 million combined potential value (90% of the portfolio), with a single award. Circinus, LLC accounts for the remaining $79 thousand. Two of the three awards carry no set-aside designation; one award is small-business set-aside.

This office does not currently maintain an active federal contracting presence relative to typical civilian-agency procurement operations. The infrequent award cadence, small portfolio ceiling, and minimal obligation rate suggest that contract work is neither a primary funding mechanism nor a regular operational vehicle for the office. Business development efforts should evaluate whether this office's current procurement needs align with the firm's capabilities and whether the office's contracting activity is likely to increase from the established baseline.
