Alkeia Motley

Alkeia Motley serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s Csa East 12 Usda-fs office, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure projects essential to national forest stewardship. Responsible for managing contracts that support public access, safety, and ecological resilience, she specializes in the planning and execution of construction and engineering services for forest roads, bridges, campgrounds, and utility systems. Her role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of maintaining and rehabilitating aging public infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship standards. She routinely handles complex, multi-year construction and specialty trade contracts requiring coordination with engineering, environmental, and land management teams. Motley maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including FINCANTIERI MARINE REPAIR LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and MARRERO, COUVILLON & ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., who bring specialized expertise in heavy civil construction and site development. She also engages with individual contractors such as RUSSELL BYRD, indicating a preference for agile, locally rooted vendors capable of responding to remote, high-risk terrain projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a reliance on established, vetted partners with proven track records in federal forest infrastructure delivery, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Motley directs 87.5% of her contracting activity toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing participation from firms certified under socioeconomic programs. This consistent emphasis underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate regional economic development and enhance competition among qualified small contractors in rural and underserved areas. Her portfolio reflects a robust commitment to equitable contracting practices that align with federal socioeconomic goals. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), which accounts for nearly two-thirds of her acquisitions, alongside specialty trade contractors in 238990 and engineering services under 541330. She procures services related to road rehabilitation, bridge repair, water and sewer infrastructure, and institutional building upgrades—all vital to sustaining public recreation and forest management operations in national forests.
