Marquez Weldon

Marquez Weldon serves as the primary procurement lead for the Csa East 13 Usda-fs within the U.S. Forest Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure projects across national forest lands. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and administration, Weldon ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize transportation networks, utility systems, and public facilities. Their portfolio centers on civil construction and public works, with a strong emphasis on projects that enhance visitor safety, resource management, and operational resilience in federally managed forest environments. Weldon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including RAZOR CONSULTING SOLUTIONS, INC, LABODA GRADING INC, CPM CONSTRUCTORS, JOE DANIELS CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., and ATOAH CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally rooted firms capable of executing complex earthwork, road construction, and utility installation in remote and environmentally sensitive areas. The working relationship pattern is characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on contractors with demonstrated expertise in federal forest land compliance and sustainable construction practices. All acquisitions managed by Weldon are fully set-aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic inclusion and small business development. There is no use of large business set-asides or unrestricted awards, underscoring a deliberate strategy to empower small, independent contractors and foster long-term capacity building within the rural contracting community. The procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), complemented by significant activity in water and sewer line construction, plumbing and HVAC systems, roofing, and oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. This technical specialization demonstrates deep expertise in civil works within forested terrains, requiring adherence to environmental mitigation standards and interagency coordination with state and federal land management entities.
