Kelly Ollivant

Kelly Ollivant serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service-spoc Software, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest infrastructure through strategic acquisitions of civil engineering, environmental remediation, and land management services. Responsible for managing contracts aligned with ecological restoration, hazardous tree removal, and infrastructure resilience, Ollivant oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation to award—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific priorities. Their work directly enables the Forest Service’s operational capacity to maintain roads, bridges, and forested landscapes while advancing public safety and environmental stewardship. Ollivant maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a primary contractor delivering site development and civil works services critical to forest infrastructure projects. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in environmental site remediation and land disturbance management, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and regulatory compliance. These relationships are cultivated through competitive solicitation processes that prioritize performance history and environmental stewardship credentials. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Ollivant’s procurement patterns, with 74.1% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for small, locally rooted firms, with additional support for women-owned small businesses. The consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a dedication to inclusive contracting and community-based economic development within forest service regions. Ollivant’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS categories including 562910 (Remediation Services), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting expertise in ecological restoration, hazardous material management, and civil infrastructure. Procurements frequently involve site preparation, erosion control, reforestation support, and structural maintenance services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal land management requirements and environmental compliance standards.
