Lynette Perrault

Lynette Perrault serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Superior National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she manages procurement activities critical to ecological stewardship and wildfire resilience. Her role centers on acquiring goods and services that support fuels reduction, vegetation management, and infrastructure maintenance across federal forest lands. She handles a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to promote sustainable land use and public safety, including contract actions for waste collection, forestry support, and light construction services. Perrault ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while prioritizing operational efficiency and environmental outcomes in every acquisition cycle. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored with Blue Ribbon Redevelopment Fund III LLC, a key partner delivering specialized environmental and land management services. She cultivates strategic vendor partnerships with firms experienced in ecological restoration, debris removal, and forest health interventions. These relationships are characterized by consistent engagement and performance-based contract execution, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federally managed forest environments and a track record of meeting rigorous environmental compliance standards. Perrault demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 88.9% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Her procurement patterns consistently prioritize small business participation, aligning with USDA and Forest Service goals to expand economic opportunities for disadvantaged entrepreneurs. While no other specific set-asides dominate her portfolio, her high reliance on small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster local economic development and enhance vendor diversity within the forest management supply chain. Her technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), reflecting her core responsibility to procure services related to debris management, mastication, and forest restoration. She also regularly engages roofing, painting, and highway contractors for infrastructure upkeep, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to maintaining forest access and public safety systems. Her expertise lies at the intersection of environmental compliance, logistical execution, and sustainable procurement practices.
