Erika Scofield

Erika Scofield serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service–SPOC NW, responsible for managing acquisitions that advance ecological restoration, public safety, and infrastructure resilience across federal forest lands. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions for mission-critical projects including trail and bridge rehabilitation, wildfire mitigation infrastructure, reforestation support systems, and maintenance of remote administrative and recreational facilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to balance public access with sustainable resource management, ensuring all procurements align with environmental stewardship goals and federal compliance standards. Scofield specializes in low-volume, high-impact contracts requiring technical precision and site-specific logistics. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Scofield consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized, small-batch goods and services tailored to remote, environmentally sensitive locations. Her procurement approach favors responsive, agile suppliers with demonstrated experience in federal environmental contracting, including firms skilled in sustainable materials, erosion control systems, and non-motorized infrastructure installation. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and ecological best practices. Scofield maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside posture across all her procurements, fully leveraging FAR 19.5 to prioritize small business participation. Her contracting patterns reflect a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic equity, with all awards directed exclusively to small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB programs. This strategy ensures local economic benefits while building a resilient supply base capable of operating in challenging, off-grid environments. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 339950 (Sign Manufacturing), where she acquires wayfinding signage, safety markers, interpretive displays, and regulatory signage designed for outdoor durability and compliance with ADA and USDA environmental standards. This specialization underscores her expertise in mission-critical, low-tech yet high-visibility infrastructure that enhances public safety and environmental education across national forest lands.
