Kirk Roegner

Kirk R. Roegner serves as a Contracting Officer for the Rocky Mountain Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure and ecological support services aligned with the agency’s mission of land stewardship, wildfire mitigation, and watershed protection. His portfolio encompasses a broad range of procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on construction, technical services, and workforce development contracts that directly support field operations and ecosystem restoration efforts across the Rocky Mountain region. Roegner ensures compliance with federal procurement policies while prioritizing mission-critical outcomes and operational readiness. Roegner maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including specialized contractors in environmental engineering, surveying, and skilled trades. He regularly engages with firms possessing expertise in ecological restoration, forest infrastructure, and land management support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor partnerships that align with the agency’s sustainability and resilience goals. He works closely with both large-capacity contractors and small business concerns to ensure reliable, high-quality delivery of services across remote and challenging terrains. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Roegner consistently prioritizes small business participation, with half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He also actively promotes HUBZone contracting, reflecting a deliberate strategy to engage economically disadvantaged communities in forest service operations. His procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to competition and inclusion, ensuring that small, local, and historically underutilized businesses have equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Roegner’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems) and 541370 (surveying and mapping services), reflecting the agency’s need for resilient infrastructure and precise geospatial data to guide restoration projects. He also supports workforce development through acquisitions in technical and apprenticeship training (NAICS 611513, 611519, 611699), ensuring that local communities build capacity in forest management trades. His expertise lies at the intersection of environmental compliance, construction standards, and workforce readiness.
