Camden Bruner

Camden Bruner serves as a key procurement lead within the Siuslaw National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecological stewardship and infrastructure resilience in western Oregon. Responsible for managing acquisitions aligned with sustainable land management, Bruner oversees contracts for ecological restoration, invasive species control, and trail and road maintenance operations. Their procurement focus centers on mission-critical support services that enable forest health, wildlife habitat enhancement, and public access infrastructure. Bruner ensures all acquisitions comply with federal regulations and align with the agency’s strategic priorities in native forest regeneration and animal damage mitigation. Bruner maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors such as BEST SEPTIC, INC and LANNIS IRON WORKS, LLC, both of which provide essential field-based support services tailored to forested environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for local, technically proficient vendors capable of executing site-specific restoration and infrastructure tasks under challenging terrain and environmental conditions. The working relationships are characterized by long-term operational alignment, with contractors frequently re-engaged for recurring, task-based work that requires familiarity with forest service protocols and ecological standards. Bruner demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged, locally rooted enterprises that contribute to rural workforce development and regional economic resilience. No other socioeconomic set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a singular focus on broad small business inclusion within the forestry support sector. The primary NAICS classification for all acquisitions is 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing services such as vegetation management, erosion control, debris removal, and forest infrastructure maintenance. Bruner’s expertise lies in procuring technical field services that require hands-on ecological knowledge, equipment operation in remote areas, and adherence to environmental compliance standards—ensuring contracting actions directly advance the forest’s restoration and public access objectives.
