Larry Robillard

Larry J. Robillard serves as a Contracting Officer for the USDA Forest Service, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical services and equipment to support the agency’s mission of forest and grassland stewardship. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on operational readiness, ecological restoration, and emergency response in remote environments. His procurement activities primarily involve support activities for forestry, aircraft procurement, and on-site food services to sustain field operations. Robillard ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with the Forest Service’s strategic priorities in wildfire mitigation, invasive species control, and infrastructure resilience. Robillard maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized forestry support, staffing solutions for seasonal and emergency roles, medical services for remote personnel, and aerospace-related procurement. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capability in delivering mission-critical services under challenging logistical conditions, often requiring rapid mobilization and technical expertise in rugged terrain. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the complex and specialized nature of the agency’s needs. However, he maintains a deliberate 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active engagement with small business vendors capable of fulfilling niche operational requirements. While socioeconomic set-asides are not dominant, his approach ensures small businesses are considered where their capabilities align with mission-critical demands. Robillard’s primary NAICS focus is 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which accounts for 60% of his portfolio, encompassing vegetation management, fire suppression support, and ecological monitoring services. He also routinely procures aircraft manufacturing services (336411) for aerial firefighting and surveillance, and food service contracting (722310) to sustain personnel in isolated field stations. His technical expertise lies at the intersection of environmental operations and logistics, ensuring that procurement decisions directly enable the Forest Service’s on-the-ground mission effectiveness.
