Brian Webber

Brian Webber serves as a key procurement lead within the Lolo National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forested ecosystems and critical infrastructure across western Montana. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on ecological restoration, forest road maintenance, trail rehabilitation, and water resource infrastructure projects. His work ensures compliance with federal land management priorities, integrating environmental stewardship with public safety and operational resilience. Webber oversees contracts under the Department of Agriculture’s procurement framework, emphasizing timely delivery of services that align with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and interagency coordination standards. Webber maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of regional contractors, including Quality Construction Co., YOY INC, Century Warehousing, Inc., Oregon Woods, Inc., and the County of Kootenai. These vendors specialize in forestry construction, timber handling, erosion control, and rural infrastructure maintenance. His contracting approach prioritizes local and regional firms with demonstrated expertise in wildland environments, fostering long-term collaborative relationships grounded in performance reliability and environmental compliance. Webber exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower locally owned enterprises, including those certified under SBA programs, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities in rural Montana. His pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a strong socioeconomic mandate to build community resilience through procurement. While specific NAICS codes are not available, Webber’s acquisitions center on forest management services, civil construction, and environmental remediation. He routinely procures services related to trail and bridge construction, debris removal, fuel reduction, and water system maintenance—domains requiring specialized knowledge of federal land use regulations and ecological best practices. His technical expertise lies at the intersection of natural resource management and infrastructure resilience.
