Carl Weber

Carl Weber serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Forest Service’s CSA East 6 office, responsible for managing contracts that support forest health, public safety, and sustainable recreation. He oversees the acquisition of critical operational services including forestry support, land management infrastructure, and facility maintenance, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to restore and sustain national forest ecosystems. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical, field-based services that enable on-the-ground resource management and public access, often requiring rapid mobilization and specialized technical expertise in environmental compliance and land use. Weber maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including American Classic Construction Inc., Zimmer Plowing LLC, Lewis Mobile Welding LLC, Miller, Sheila D, and Moore & Shryock LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for local and regional vendors with proven capabilities in forestry support, snow and debris removal, mobile welding for remote equipment, landscaping, and waste management. His contracting approach prioritizes reliability, responsiveness, and technical proficiency in challenging terrain, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Weber consistently deploys Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, with over 91% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to empower local entrepreneurs and increase economic resilience in rural communities. His contracting patterns show minimal use of full and open competition, underscoring a structured commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based vendors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), with additional emphasis on janitorial maintenance, nursery and tree production, and non-hazardous waste collection. These categories reveal deep expertise in environmental stewardship contracting, particularly in the procurement of services that directly support forest restoration, trail maintenance, and visitor facility operations across federally managed lands.
