Beatriz Moreno

Beatriz Moreno serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Shawnee National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustainably manage public lands in southern Illinois. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for non-residential facility operations. Her responsibilities include assisting in the solicitation and oversight of services essential to visitor infrastructure, including building maintenance, sanitation, and facility management under the agency’s operational budget. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligns acquisitions with the Forest Service’s environmental stewardship and public access goals. Moreno maintains a consistent working relationship with Freebourn Andrew, the primary contractor engaged across multiple facility-related service contracts. Her procurement pattern reflects a stable, long-term vendor partnership focused on reliable performance in non-residential building operations and support services. She collaborates closely with field staff to translate operational needs into clear statement of work requirements, ensuring contractors deliver services that meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and environmental compliance. Moreno’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her supported acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for broad market engagement rather than targeted small business set-asides, consistent with the agency’s operational model for facility maintenance services where specialized expertise and scale are prioritized. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating a specialization in leasing, management, and operational support for visitor centers, ranger stations, and other federal facilities. She handles contracts for building maintenance, janitorial services, utilities coordination, and infrastructure upkeep, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal facility operations and the unique logistical demands of managing public infrastructure in remote, forested environments.
