Keith Rose

Keith Rose serves as the primary procurement lead for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s FWS Sat Team 3, overseeing mission-critical acquisitions that advance the conservation and operational integrity of national wildlife refuges. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on habitat restoration, invasive species control, wildlife law enforcement support, and refuge infrastructure maintenance, with a strong emphasis on environmental remediation, forestry services, and emergency response equipment. His role ensures alignment between procurement strategy and the agency’s ecological stewardship objectives, facilitating timely and compliant acquisitions that support field-level operations across complex terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Rose maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including TABLE ROCK FORESTRY, INC for ecological land management, DANKO EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT CO. for critical response gear, DDC 4C, LLC for environmental consulting and remediation, THE PEREGRINE FUND, INC. for endangered species recovery support, and DOUBLE A HAULING INC for hazardous and regulated material transport. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, mission-aligned contractors with proven expertise in wildlife resource management and field-scale logistics. Rose’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance, compliance, and domain-specific experience in vendor selection. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and NAICS 315990 (Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing), indicating a specialized need for wildlife enforcement gear, protective clothing, and ammunition used in law enforcement and population management operations. This unusual combination underscores a highly targeted operational profile, where procurement supports both ecological conservation and federal law enforcement mandates within the refuge system.
