Curtis Landreth

Curtis Landreth serves as the primary contracting representative for the Shoshone National Forest, overseeing the acquisition of critical resource management and infrastructure services under the U.S. Forest Service. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the Forest’s mission of ecological stewardship, including trail and road maintenance, water system repairs, wildlife habitat support, and cultural resource preservation. His procurement activities are strategically designed to enable on-the-ground operational resilience while ensuring compliance with federal environmental and land management mandates. Landreth specializes in service-based acquisitions that require technical expertise in forestry operations and public land stewardship. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including SWEARINGEN KURT A, SPENCER SMITH CONSTRUCTION, LLC, ACR CONSULTANTS, INC., HOPE ARCHAEOLOGY INC, and BARRON LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in forested land management, archaeological compliance, and light construction within sensitive ecological zones. Landreth’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency in natural resource applications, and adherence to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. His procurement strategy is overwhelmingly oriented toward small business participation, with 95.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity for small, locally rooted enterprises. While service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides are minimal, the overwhelming focus on small business ensures broad community engagement and workforce development in rural Wyoming. Landreth’s primary NAICS focus areas include Support Activities for Forestry (115310), Janitorial Services (561720), and Landscaping Services (561730), underscoring his specialization in operational maintenance and ecological upkeep. He regularly procures services related to invasive species control, trail rehabilitation, debris removal, and forest product gathering, demonstrating deep domain expertise in applied forestry and public land conservation. His acquisitions are grounded in practical field needs, prioritizing contractors with on-site experience in high-elevation, wilderness-adjacent environments.
