Ivory R Carr

Ivory R. Carr serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisitions. Responsible for managing contracts aligned with ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and operational readiness in remote terrains, Carr specializes in securing critical support services essential to field operations. Their procurement focus centers on the technical and logistical needs of forest management, ensuring that contracting actions directly enable mission-critical activities such as invasive species control, infrastructure maintenance, and emergency response coordination. Carr’s acquisitions are tailored to meet the unique demands of federal land management, prioritizing agility, scalability, and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards. Carr maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ACI Federal Inc., One Stop Recruiting LLC, Gondo Roy E MD, The Locums Co, LLC, and AMD International Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on niche service providers offering workforce solutions, medical support for field personnel, and technical consulting services critical to sustaining operational continuity in isolated regions. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and rapid mobilization capabilities. Carr’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical expertise and mission alignment over set-aside preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, the nature of the services procured often naturally engages small, specialized firms with domain-specific capabilities. The primary NAICS code utilized is 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—indicating a deep specialization in contracting for forest health services, prescribed burning support, wildlife habitat management, and logistical coordination for field crews. Carr’s portfolio consistently procures technical services related to ecological monitoring, fire suppression support, and resource management consulting, demonstrating subject-matter expertise in the operational backbone of federal forestry programs.
