Beverly L Thompson

Beverly L. Thompson serves as a Contract Specialist within the USDA Forest Service’s SPoC IM office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that support the agency’s mission to sustain forest infrastructure and public access. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for construction, maintenance, and ecological support services, with a primary focus on transportation and recreational facilities. Her portfolio includes competitively solicited contracts under FAR Part 15, leveraging both sealed bidding and negotiated procedures to ensure compliance, efficiency, and mission alignment. Thompson’s work directly enables the rehabilitation of forest roads, bridges, trails, and campgrounds, ensuring resilient public infrastructure across national forest lands. She maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GCS LLC, ACME ASPHALT INDUSTRIES INC, and TwentyoneTwentyseven LLC, all of whom consistently deliver specialized civil construction and forestry support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear technical specifications, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, safety compliance, and environmental stewardship. These contractors are frequently selected for their demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction and forest-specific operational requirements. Thompson exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 24.1% of her awards and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 representing 17.2%. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively prioritizes opportunities for qualified small businesses, particularly those certified under HUBZone and small business programs, aligning with federal mandates to promote geographic and economic diversity in federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting her deep expertise in civil infrastructure projects. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), ensuring integrated ecological maintenance and resource management. Her technical domain spans site preparation, heavy civil engineering, and institutional construction, demonstrating a specialized understanding of forest service infrastructure needs and regulatory environmental compliance.
