Leo Trujillo

Leo Trujillo serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the USDA Forest Service-spoc Software, providing critical oversight of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forested landscapes through infrastructure resilience and ecological restoration. In this role, he ensures contract compliance, monitors performance, and validates deliverables for civil engineering, land management, and environmental remediation services. Trujillo primarily supports task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, focusing on site preparation, hazardous tree removal, road and bridge maintenance, and reforestation support activities. His expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with procurement execution to uphold federal standards under FAR and agency-specific guidelines. Trujillo maintains a strong working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, the agency’s primary contractor for forestry support services. His procurement pattern reflects consistent, long-term engagement with this vendor for specialized field operations requiring technical proficiency in ecological site restoration and heavy equipment operations. He fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize safety, environmental compliance, and timely delivery of mission-critical services, often coordinating with field biologists and civil engineers to align contract outcomes with on-the-ground priorities. Trujillo’s acquisition portfolio is exclusively structured under Total Small Business Set-Aside provisions (FAR 19.5), reflecting a firm commitment to maximizing economic opportunity for small businesses in rural and forest-dependent communities. All procurements are reserved for small business concerns, with no open competition, ensuring that contracting resources directly benefit qualified small entities capable of delivering forestry support services. This pattern reinforces the agency’s socioeconomic goals and promotes workforce development within the forestry sector. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—encompassing services such as vegetation management, erosion control, fuel reduction, and forest road maintenance. Trujillo’s domain expertise centers on the technical execution of ecological restoration projects, requiring deep understanding of environmental regulations, silvicultural practices, and federal land use protocols. He ensures all contracted work adheres to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and supports the Forest Service’s broader stewardship objectives.
