Janice King

Janice King serves as the primary procurement lead for the USDA Forest Service–SPOC IM, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to maintaining the nation’s forested public lands. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure safe, resilient transportation networks, recreational facilities, and ecological support systems. Her acquisitions primarily focus on highway, bridge, and facility improvements, with an emphasis on lifecycle sustainability and public access enhancement. King plays a central role in translating operational needs into compliant, mission-driven contracting actions that support long-term forest management goals. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GCS LLC, ACME ASPHALT INDUSTRIES INC, and TwentyoneTwentyseven LLC, all of whom deliver specialized civil construction and site development services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in forested terrain operations, erosion control, and environmentally sensitive construction practices. King fosters collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships that prioritize safety, regulatory compliance, and adaptive project execution in remote and ecologically constrained environments. King demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 79.3% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower local and regional contractors with the technical capacity to deliver complex infrastructure projects in rural and wilderness settings. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms capable of meeting the Forest Service’s unique operational demands. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), complemented by significant activity in commercial building construction (236220) and roofing (238160). She specializes in procuring services for trail and road rehabilitation, campground upgrades, and structural maintenance under stringent environmental standards, demonstrating deep expertise in federal construction contracting within protected natural areas.
