Lucas.R.Cecil

Lucas R. Cecil serves as District Forester for the W076 Endist Ft Worth under the Department of the Army, where he oversees land and natural resource management acquisitions critical to maintaining military installation sustainability. His role centers on procuring forestry, land stewardship, and ecological restoration services that support compliance with environmental regulations and enhance recreational infrastructure across continental U.S. Army installations. He manages contracts related to vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, habitat conservation, and grounds maintenance, ensuring alignment with the Army’s mission to preserve functional, resilient, and environmentally compliant installations. His procurement activities are tightly integrated with installation planning cycles and federal land use policies. Mr. Cecil maintains long-standing relationships with key contractors including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc., all of whom provide specialized services in forest management, timber harvesting, and landscape restoration. These partnerships are characterized by consistent performance, technical proficiency in ecological contracting, and familiarity with Department of Defense environmental compliance protocols. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven experience in federal land management, often leveraging task-order contracts under existing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to streamline execution. Mr. Cecil’s contracting activity reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his office maintains compliance with all applicable federal procurement regulations and encourages competitive bidding from all qualified entities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 113310 (Logging), which accounts for over 90% of his activity, reflecting a strong emphasis on timber harvesting, forest thinning, and biomass removal for fire risk reduction. Secondary activity includes NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds) and NAICS 112111 (Beef Cattle Ranching), indicating ancillary support for recreational and land-use compatibility initiatives. His technical expertise spans ecological contracting, sustainable forestry practices, and integrated resource management under federal environmental statutes.
