Brad Reed

Brad Reed supports procurement operations for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, facilitating acquisitions critical to ecological restoration and infrastructure resilience across southern Oregon and northern California. He manages contracts aligned with the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain fire-adapted landscapes, control invasive species, and maintain public safety through targeted resource stewardship. His portfolio centers on field-based services and specialized equipment procurement, including forestry support, habitat rehabilitation, and maintenance of forest infrastructure. Reed ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing mission-critical outcomes that align with the agency’s long-term ecological goals. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including S365 INC, Logistics365 Inc, Sprout Forestry Incorporated, and Three Stripes Contracting LLC, all of which provide specialized services in forestry operations, logistical support, and ecological restoration. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional vendors with demonstrated expertise in wildland management, equipment maintenance, and on-the-ground implementation of prescribed fire and reforestation programs. Reed’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and familiarity with the unique topographic and ecological challenges of the region. A strong advocate for small business participation, Reed consistently structures acquisitions under the Total Small Business Set-Aside category, with 88.9% of contracts reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to cultivate local economic resilience by engaging small, community-based firms capable of delivering responsive, field-ready solutions. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate his portfolio, his reliance on small business contractors underscores a commitment to inclusive contracting and regional capacity building. His primary NAICS focus includes 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing) for specialized off-road vehicles used in remote terrain, 327390 (Other Concrete Product Manufacturing) for erosion control structures, and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) for prescribed burn and invasive species management services. He also procures wood preservation equipment and technical instrumentation for environmental monitoring, demonstrating expertise in both field logistics and ecological engineering domains.
