Loren Reimer

Loren Reimer serves as a key procurement lead for the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, overseeing acquisitions critical to the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecological stewardship and infrastructure resilience. Responsible for managing contracts that support post-wildfire restoration, habitat conservation, and forest operations, Reimer specializes in procurement for land management activities requiring specialized environmental and construction services. Their work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities by ensuring timely delivery of resources essential to public safety, ecosystem recovery, and sustainable resource use across western Colorado and southeastern Wyoming. Reimer maintains a consistent working relationship with ANSON EXCAVATING & PIPE, INC., a primary contractor for earthmoving, grading, and erosion control services essential to forest road rehabilitation and streambank stabilization. The procurement pattern reflects a preference for experienced local vendors with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction and environmental compliance, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory alignment. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Reimer’s contracting patterns, with approximately two-thirds of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower local and regionally based enterprises, aligning with USDA’s broader socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside categories are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to fostering economic opportunity within rural and underserved communities. Reimer’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining), 562910 (Remediation Services), and 321999 (All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing), reflecting a technical domain grounded in environmental remediation, aggregate sourcing for erosion control, and custom wood product fabrication for trail and structure maintenance. These categories underscore deep expertise in procuring materials and services that directly support ecological restoration, wildfire recovery, and sustainable forest infrastructure.
