Lenora Arevalos

Lenora Arevalos serves as a key procurement professional within the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure and operational readiness across Colorado’s public lands. She manages acquisition programs focused on transportation equipment, vehicle systems, and related technical services essential to field operations, including maintenance of patrol vehicles, utility support units, and specialized forestry equipment. Her role ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with agency priorities in public safety, resource management, and infrastructure resilience. Arevalos maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including KLINGLER ASPHALT LLC for pavement and road maintenance solutions, NORTHERN PURCHASE SERVICES, LLC for logistical and supply chain support, and GRANT GOV CONNECT LLC for specialized government contracting advisory services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federal procurement compliance, rapid response capabilities, and familiarity with remote, rugged-environment logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and long-term vendor performance over transactional sourcing. She demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, locally rooted enterprises with the capacity to deliver specialized transportation and equipment services in challenging terrain. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, fostering economic development within rural and underserved communities adjacent to the national forests. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing) and 336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in vehicle-mounted electronics, communication systems, diagnostic tools, and custom-built field support equipment. She procures components critical to fleet modernization, including GPS tracking systems, emergency response hardware, and weather-resistant electrical assemblies designed for high-altitude, off-road operational environments.
