Mary S Routhier

Mary S. Routhier serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist for the Custer Gallatin National Forest, overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to maintaining federal public lands. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical infrastructure services across a vast and ecologically sensitive landscape. Her portfolio primarily encompasses heavy civil engineering construction contracts for trails, bridges, roads, wildfire mitigation systems, and ranger station maintenance—projects essential to public safety, ecological stewardship, and sustainable recreation access. Routhier leads contract planning, solicitation development, source selection, and post-award administration, aligning acquisitions with the U.S. Forest Service’s strategic goals for land management and resilience. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including YOUNG GUN CONSTRUCTION LLC, TK3, LLC, and KOMMODITIES CORP, all of which have demonstrated technical proficiency in remote-site construction and heavy civil infrastructure under challenging environmental conditions. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in federal land management environments, often requiring specialized equipment, seasonal scheduling, and adherence to rigorous environmental mitigation protocols. Routhier’s approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and contractor accountability in high-risk, low-access terrains. Routhier’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical capability and past performance, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her team evaluates all vendors on merit, ensuring competitive rigor and value for the taxpayer. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing complex earthmoving, structural stabilization, erosion control, and remote-access infrastructure projects. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating technical proposals for civil works in wilderness settings, ensuring compliance with NEPA, ESA, and other environmental regulations while delivering durable, mission-critical assets.
