Lucie A. Immoos

Lucie A. Immoos serves as a Procurement Technician at the Malheur National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest health and manage public lands through strategic acquisition of essential goods and services. In this role, she facilitates the end-to-end procurement process for operational needs, including contracting for ecological restoration, wildfire risk reduction, and infrastructure maintenance. Her acquisitions primarily support field-level operations, with a strong emphasis on forestry support activities, trail and road maintenance, and related specialty trade services. She works closely with project managers and resource specialists to translate mission priorities into compliant, timely contracts that meet federal procurement standards under the FAR. Lucie collaborates regularly with small and mid-sized contractors specializing in forestry support, heavy civil construction, and specialty trade services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in remote, environmentally sensitive terrains and those capable of executing seasonal or emergency-response work. She maintains consistent working relationships with local and regional firms familiar with the unique logistical and ecological constraints of the Malheur region, ensuring that contract performance aligns with both operational urgency and environmental stewardship. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Lucie consistently prioritizes HUBZone and total small business set-asides, with nearly 88% of her acquisitions designated for small business participation. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to empowering economically disadvantaged communities and fostering local economic resilience through targeted set-asides under FAR 19.5 and HUBZone programs. She actively seeks out qualified small business vendors to meet the Forest Service’s goals for equitable contracting and workforce development. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing prescribed burning, mechanical thinning, and invasive species control. She also manages contracts under NAICS 237310 and 238990 for road, trail, and erosion control infrastructure. Her expertise spans the technical and regulatory demands of federal land management contracting, ensuring compliance with environmental review requirements and sustainable resource practices.
