Marie Willis

Marie Willis serves as an Engineer with the Boise National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she plays a critical role in managing infrastructure and ecological restoration projects essential to forest health and public safety. Her responsibilities include evaluating technical requirements, drafting solicitation documents, and overseeing the acquisition of construction and rehabilitation services aligned with federal land management priorities. She is instrumental in translating agency objectives—such as wildfire risk reduction, invasive species control, and trail and facility maintenance—into actionable procurement strategies that ensure compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and federal construction standards. Her acquisitions primarily support on-the-ground stewardship activities across Idaho’s forested landscapes. Marie collaborates with a broad range of contractors specializing in residential and light commercial remodeling, forest infrastructure, and ecological site rehabilitation. While specific vendor relationships are not publicly enumerated, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms experienced in sustainable building practices, erosion control, and forest-access infrastructure. She works closely with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in timber-frame construction, native landscaping, and environmentally sensitive site work, fostering partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and ecological stewardship. Marie’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her procurements conducted under general competition without preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and project-specific expertise over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the Forest Service’s emphasis on mission-critical outcomes in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236118 (Residential Remodelers), which encompasses the repair, renovation, and adaptive reuse of forest service structures such as ranger stations, visitor centers, and employee housing. She specializes in acquisitions requiring compliance with historic preservation standards, energy efficiency codes, and wildfire-resistant building materials, demonstrating deep expertise in sustainable infrastructure development within wildland-urban interface zones.
