Doug Massaro serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the National Forests in Alabama, operating under the U.S. Forest Service within the Department of Agriculture. In this role, he provides critical oversight of contractual performance for infrastructure, habitat restoration, and recreational site maintenance projects across Alabama’s national forest lands. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, monitors contractor deliverables, and facilitates communication between field operations and vendor teams. His procurement focus centers on mission-critical services that support ecological stewardship, public access, and forest resilience, including forestry support activities and landscape-scale resource management. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Massaro maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of small business vendors specializing in forestry support and geological materials supply. His oversight emphasizes performance-based contract management, with a strong emphasis on safety, environmental compliance, and timely execution of field-level tasks. He collaborates closely with contractors to ensure alignment with Forest Service standards and adaptive management practices, fostering partnerships built on accountability and operational reliability. Massaro’s procurement portfolio is fully aligned with a 100% small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and local economic development. He consistently prioritizes awarding contracts to small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business programs, reinforcing the agency’s mission to empower underserved entrepreneurs while delivering high-quality public services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing vegetation management, trail maintenance, and wildfire mitigation services, and NAICS 212312 (Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining and Quarrying), which supports road construction, erosion control, and recreational facility infrastructure. This dual specialization underscores his technical expertise in both ecological operations and civil works procurement, making him a key steward of Alabama’s forested landscapes.
