Arlene Stoor

Arlene Stoor serves as a Procurement Technician at the Boise National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems through efficient and compliant acquisition processes. In this role, she facilitates the execution of procurements for essential services and infrastructure support, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and agency priorities such as wildfire risk reduction, ecological restoration, and facility maintenance. She handles a diverse range of acquisitions, primarily in administrative, janitorial, construction, and vehicle-related categories, coordinating with project managers and stakeholders to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements and contract awards. While specific contractor names are not available, Arlene works closely with a broad network of vendors including small businesses, local service providers, and specialized contractors in construction and facility support. Her procurement activities emphasize responsiveness to field-level needs, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering timely, compliant, and mission-critical services across Idaho’s rugged terrain. She maintains a collaborative working relationship with both prime contractors and subcontractors, ensuring adherence to performance standards and regulatory compliance throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Arlene demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity for small firms. Although no other socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive alignment with federal goals to increase vendor diversity and local economic impact in rural procurement zones. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561410 (Document Preparation Services), 561720 (Janitorial Services), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing). These categories reflect the Forest Service’s operational demands for administrative support, facility upkeep, trail and road infrastructure, and vehicle fleet maintenance—underscoring her technical expertise in managing mission-critical, non-defense acquisitions within a natural resource management context.
