Marla Lefevre

Marla Lefevre serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service-spoc Software, managing acquisitions critical to the stewardship of national forests and grasslands. She oversees the solicitation and award of contracts supporting civil engineering, land management, and environmental remediation initiatives, with a focus on infrastructure resilience and public safety. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain forest roads, bridges, water systems, and reforestation sites through strategic contracting. Lefevre handles complex, mission-critical procurements under FAR Part 36 and Part 19, ensuring compliance with federal construction and support service standards while aligning acquisitions with ecological and operational priorities. She maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor delivering heavy civil engineering and site development services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in forestry-support infrastructure, though she actively engages a diverse pool of qualified firms to meet project-specific needs. Lefevre’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with an emphasis on safety, sustainability, and long-term asset integrity. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 38% of awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including HUBZone preferences. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of HUBZone set-asides underscores a strategic focus on economic development in underserved rural communities adjacent to federal forest lands. Lefevre’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), reflecting deep expertise in ecological infrastructure. She routinely procures services related to hazardous tree removal, road and bridge maintenance, erosion control, and utility line installation—ensuring that forest management operations remain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant.
