Justin Holloway

Justin Holloway serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Boise National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where he manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to ecological stewardship and forest infrastructure maintenance. His role centers on executing compliant, mission-driven procurements that support reforestation, wildfire risk reduction, invasive species control, and trail and facility upkeep. Holloway handles a diverse range of acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing timely delivery of resources that align with the agency’s strategic land management objectives. He works closely with field staff to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring procurement actions support both environmental outcomes and public safety. Holloway collaborates with a broad network of vendors specializing in forestry support, structural metal fabrication, and land management services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with regional and national firms capable of delivering specialized equipment, engineered structures, and field-based services. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance accountability, particularly for time-sensitive projects requiring rapid mobilization in remote terrain. A strong advocate for small business participation, Holloway consistently applies Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, with approximately 68% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, regularly leveraging set-asides to empower local and disadvantaged entrepreneurs in Idaho and the surrounding region. This approach strengthens community resilience while expanding the pool of qualified vendors capable of supporting federal land management missions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing), and 561730 (Landscaping Services), each accounting for 15% of his portfolio. He also frequently procures soil preparation and trucking services under NAICS 115112 and 484121, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with field operations, forestry equipment logistics, and infrastructure development in rugged, federally managed landscapes.
