Responsible for managing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest health and public land resilience, Lucido specializes in electrical systems and wiring installation contracts essential to maintaining recreational facilities, utility networks, and fire suppression infrastructure across high-use national forests. His procurement activities directly support ecological restoration goals by ensuring reliable power and communication systems for ranger stations, fire lookout towers, and visitor centers. Lucido maintains collaborative relationships with a network of qualified electrical contractors and specialized infrastructure vendors, prioritizing firms with demonstrated expertise in remote-site electrical installations and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with small, regionally based firms capable of operating in rugged, ecologically sensitive terrains. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous contractor evaluation to ensure adherence to technical specifications and sustainable construction practices. Lucido exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his eligible acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity for small enterprises, particularly those with experience in rural infrastructure and public land services. His procurement decisions consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that empower small businesses, aligning with federal mandates to enhance diversity in federal contracting.
