Mark Libby

Mark Libby serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 9 office, responsible for managing civil infrastructure contracts that sustain public access and operational resilience across national forest lands. He oversees the acquisition of critical civil works projects, including water system rehabilitation, road and bridge construction, and dam maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and environmental stewardship standards. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to preserve forest infrastructure in remote, high-value ecological zones, prioritizing long-term durability and public safety in every acquisition. Libby maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, G.S. Bostic Painting LLC, and Camas Creek Contracting L.L.C., all of whom demonstrate proven expertise in remote-site civil works. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and a shared focus on performance-based outcomes, with contractors often retained for multi-phase projects requiring coordination across rugged terrain and sensitive environmental zones. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local knowledge, and adherence to federal construction specifications. Libby’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes contracting opportunities for small businesses capable of delivering specialized civil engineering services in isolated environments, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to economic development in rural communities and fostering a robust pipeline of qualified small business vendors. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting deep expertise in hydraulic infrastructure and transportation systems within forested landscapes. He procures services related to culvert installation, erosion control, pavement rehabilitation, and structural concrete work, requiring specialized knowledge of USDA environmental compliance and federal construction standards.
