Blair Moody

Blair Moody serves as Stewardship Coordinator for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, where they play a pivotal role in advancing ecological restoration and sustainable resource management through strategic procurement. Responsible for aligning contracting activities with the Forest Service’s mission of fire-adapted landscape recovery, invasive species control, and reforestation, Moody oversees acquisitions directly tied to forest stewardship operations. Their work centers on procuring logging services and related forestry support to enable prescribed burns, timber thinning, and habitat restoration—critical components of the agency’s resilience strategy. Moody ensures that all procurements adhere to federal guidelines while prioritizing ecological outcomes and public safety. Moody maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including S365 INC, LOGISTICS365 INC, SPROUT FORESTRY INCORPORATED, and THREE STRIPES CONTRACTING LLC. These vendors provide field-ready, regionally experienced labor and equipment for silvicultural operations, biomass removal, and fireline construction. The working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, performance-based evaluations, and a shared commitment to safety and environmental compliance in complex terrain. Moody relies on these contractors for their technical proficiency in operating under USDA Forest Service protocols and their ability to mobilize rapidly in remote areas. All acquisitions managed by Moody are fully set-aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to fostering economic opportunity within rural and forest-dependent communities. There is no use of other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB; instead, the agency’s procurement strategy is uniformly focused on small business participation across all logging-related contracts, ensuring that local enterprises drive on-the-ground restoration efforts. Moody’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 113310 (Logging), encompassing contract work for timber harvesting, slash treatment, fuel reduction, and road maintenance in support of forest health initiatives. Their technical expertise lies in evaluating contractor capabilities for operating in sensitive ecosystems, adhering to NEPA requirements, and implementing Best Management Practices to protect water quality and wildlife habitat during operational activities.
