Frank J.B. Moore

Frank J.B. Moore serves as a Contract Specialist for the USDA Forest Service–SPOC NW, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and ecological restoration services aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems and enhance public safety. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for heavy civil construction, engineering support, and forestry operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship goals. His portfolio primarily includes contracts for trail and bridge rehabilitation, wildfire resilience infrastructure, and maintenance of remote administrative facilities, requiring precise coordination with technical specialists and field teams to align contracting outcomes with on-the-ground operational needs. Moore cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of contractors, including firms specializing in heavy civil engineering, forestry support services, and civil infrastructure construction. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering specialized services in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, clear scope definition, and rigorous contract administration to ensure compliance with environmental mitigation requirements and safety standards. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for nearly 24% of his awards and total small business set-asides at 14.3%. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Moore actively prioritizes opportunities for HUBZone-certified firms and small businesses with demonstrated capacity in forestry and civil works, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to foster economic opportunity in rural and underserved communities. His technical focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in procuring trail systems, erosion control structures, forest access roads, and related engineering services. He routinely evaluates proposals for technical feasibility, environmental impact, and long-term maintenance viability, ensuring contracted work aligns with the Forest Service’s ecological and public access objectives.
