Laurie Moore

Laurie Moore serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Forest Service’s R10 Alaska Regional Office, where she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions critical to sustaining federal infrastructure in Alaska’s remote and ecologically sensitive environments. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical contracts supporting forest management, transportation networks, and facility operations, including road and bridge construction, forestry support services, and utility system upgrades. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals of resilience, sustainability, and public access to federal lands. Her work directly enables field operations by securing timely, high-quality services and infrastructure solutions under complex logistical and environmental constraints. Laurie collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily small businesses and specialized firms experienced in Alaska’s unique operational challenges. She works closely with vendors offering forestry support, civil construction, and IT systems design, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with local and regional vendors capable of navigating Alaska’s harsh conditions and limited supply chains, ensuring that contract execution remains both efficient and adaptable to field realities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Laurie consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with over two-thirds of her acquisitions designated for total small business contracts under FAR 19.5. She also actively promotes Women-Owned Small Business participation, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity in underserved markets. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to inclusion, ensuring that small, local, and disadvantaged firms have equitable access to federal opportunities in Alaska. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), where she secures services such as timber management support, wildfire mitigation, and ecological monitoring. She also frequently procures computer systems design services (541512) for land management tools and infrastructure monitoring systems, alongside construction services for water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure (237110, 237310). Her technical expertise spans environmental compliance, remote logistics, and integrated systems procurement in austere environments.
