Justin Holloway

Justin Holloway serves as a key procurement professional within the Boise National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest ecosystems through strategic acquisition of goods and services essential to land management. He oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure maintenance, ecological restoration, and operational support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency priorities such as wildfire risk reduction and invasive species control. His role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—while aligning acquisitions with the Forest Service’s environmental stewardship goals. Holloway collaborates closely with a network of small and mid-sized vendors specializing in forestry, logistics, and environmental services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, locally-based suppliers capable of delivering specialized materials and services across Idaho’s rugged terrain. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, environmental compliance, and responsiveness to seasonal operational needs, particularly during fire season and reforestation cycles. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 93.8% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing small business concerns without specific preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories, but consistently enabling broad small business access to federal opportunities. His approach supports rural economic development and enhances supply chain resilience in remote regions. Holloway’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (janitorial and sanitation services for visitor facilities and ranger stations) and 423310 (lumber, millwork, and wood panel distribution), underscoring his technical expertise in sourcing forest-compatible building materials and maintenance supplies. He also manages niche acquisitions in corrugated packaging, fertilizer blending, and construction machinery, demonstrating proficiency in procuring specialized, ecologically compliant products critical to forest health and public safety operations.
