Cory Bracy serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service – Spoc East, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and environmental management services across federal forest lands. Responsible for managing contracts that support facility modernization, water and sewer system rehabilitation, and site preparation for public access and operational resilience, Bracy ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems through targeted construction and maintenance. Their procurement activities center on capital improvement projects, including upgrades to job corps centers and food service operations, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal contracting regulations and environmental stewardship standards. Bracy cultivates partnerships with a diverse array of contractors specializing in civil construction, utility infrastructure, and technical services. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, their contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms experienced in federal forest land operations, including those with expertise in remote site logistics, environmental compliance, and seasonal workforce mobilization. Relationships are characterized by long-term performance-based contracts and a preference for vendors with proven track records in federally managed natural resource environments. A strong advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Bracy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 80% of procurements designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within underserved communities while ensuring qualified, capable vendors deliver mission-critical services. Bracy’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction), 237110 (water and sewer line construction), and 238220 (plumbing and HVAC systems), with additional support for site preparation and professional technical services. Their expertise lies in managing complex, multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects that require coordination between civil engineering, environmental mitigation, and public access improvements on sensitive federal lands.
