Katy Bilisoly

Katy Bilisoly serves as a key procurement liaison within the Bridger-Teton National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecological stewardship and infrastructure resilience. Though holding no formal title, her secondary role is instrumental in facilitating acquisition planning and contract execution for critical field operations. She routinely manages solicitations for construction, resource extraction, and specialty trade services essential to maintaining forest roads, trails, and environmental infrastructure. Her work ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contracting activities with the agency’s strategic priorities in habitat conservation and cultural resource protection. While no primary contractor relationships are currently documented, Bilisoly’s procurement activities consistently engage a diverse pool of small businesses, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s set-aside programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, fostering equitable access for disadvantaged entrepreneurs and promoting local economic development in rural Wyoming communities. Vendor partnerships are typically formed with firms possessing proven expertise in sustainable land management practices and environmentally compliant construction methods. Bilisoly’s procurement focus is concentrated in three core NAICS categories: Construction Sand and Gravel Mining (212321), Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310), and All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (238990). These reflect the agency’s operational needs for material sourcing, trail and road maintenance, and specialized site rehabilitation services. Her technical domain expertise lies in managing procurements that balance ecological integrity with infrastructure demands, ensuring compliance with NEPA, ESA, and other environmental statutes. She works closely with resource specialists and field engineers to define technical requirements and evaluate contractor capabilities in sustainable land use practices.
