Bradley King

Bradley King serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region, overseeing contract execution for critical ecological and infrastructure initiatives. Responsible for managing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission of forest health, wildfire resilience, and public land maintenance, King specializes in specialty trade contracts that support reforestation, invasive species control, and recreational facility upkeep. His work directly enables on-the-ground restoration efforts across high-use national forests and grasslands, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while advancing environmental sustainability goals. King’s contracting approach centers on partnerships with small business specialty trade contractors who deliver skilled labor for site-specific ecological and infrastructure projects. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages a network of locally rooted, vertically integrated firms capable of executing complex, labor-intensive tasks such as trail construction, erosion control, and utility line maintenance in remote terrain. His working relationships emphasize responsiveness, environmental stewardship, and adaptability to dynamic field conditions, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and regulatory compliance. King demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurements toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower local economies and increase access to federal opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based contractors. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic equity, ensuring that every award supports the broader goal of inclusive economic development within rural and forest-adjacent communities. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 238990—All Other Specialty Trade Contractors—encompassing niche services such as habitat restoration, native plant installation, and non-structural land management. King’s technical expertise lies in procuring labor-intensive, site-adaptive services that require specialized knowledge of forest ecology, soil stabilization, and public land use regulations, ensuring contracts deliver both environmental outcomes and durable public infrastructure.
