Justin Holder

Justin Holder serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service’s Csa Northwest 6 office, managing acquisitions critical to maintaining and rehabilitating infrastructure across national forest lands. His work supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational resilience through the construction, repair, and modernization of roads, bridges, fences, utilities, and facilities essential for wildfire response, public recreation, and ecosystem stewardship. He specializes in managing construction and specialty trade contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on competitively awarded, mission-critical projects that require precise technical oversight and compliance with environmental and safety standards. Holder maintains strong, recurring relationships with L & S Fencing, LLC and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, both of which consistently deliver high-quality site development and specialized construction services. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration with vendors possessing proven expertise in rural infrastructure, fencing systems, and site grading—areas vital to the Forest Service’s field operations. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and local capacity, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in consistent delivery and regulatory compliance. Holder’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business goals, as all of his acquisitions are set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This unwavering commitment ensures that economically disadvantaged and locally rooted firms have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities, reinforcing the agency’s broader socioeconomic objectives. His portfolio consistently prioritizes small business participation without exception, creating a predictable pipeline for qualified contractors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in structural improvements, site preparation, and non-residential construction trades. He regularly oversees projects involving timber framing, erosion control, utility conduits, and perimeter fencing—technical domains requiring specialized knowledge of forested terrain and federal land-use constraints.
