Keely Memphis Nouveau

Keely Nouveau serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Boise National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to ecological stewardship and operational readiness. Her role centers on executing compliant, mission-driven procurements that support reforestation, wildfire risk mitigation, invasive species control, and infrastructure maintenance across Idaho’s forest lands. She handles a diverse range of acquisitions—from specialized equipment to professional training and landscaping services—ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and the agency’s sustainability goals. Keely plays a pivotal role in translating field operational needs into actionable contracting actions that uphold environmental and public safety priorities. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Keely consistently engages with a broad network of vendors, including small businesses certified under multiple socioeconomic programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for responsive, locally rooted suppliers capable of delivering specialized services in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory compliance, and adaptive service delivery tailored to the unique challenges of federal land management. Keely maintains a 100% total small business set-aside preference across all solicitations, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting under FAR 19.5. She prioritizes participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while strengthening community resilience and local economic development in rural Idaho. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 334310 (audio and video equipment manufacturing), 314999 (miscellaneous textile product mills), 339999 (other miscellaneous manufacturing), 561730 (landscaping services), and 611430 (professional and management development training).
