Mickey Carr

Mickey Carr serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service, overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining the agency’s operational readiness across remote and ecologically sensitive landscapes. Responsible for managing site preparation and land development contracts, Carr ensures that procurement activities align with the Forest Service’s mission of ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience. Their work primarily involves soliciting and awarding contracts for earthmoving, grading, erosion control, and forest road construction—activities essential to sustaining public access, firebreak development, and habitat rehabilitation in rugged terrain. Carr’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with long-term forest management plans and emergency response protocols. Carr maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche service providers capable of delivering site preparation services under demanding environmental and logistical conditions. The working relationship pattern emphasizes technical proficiency in remote-area operations, compliance with NEPA and wetland regulations, and rapid mobilization for time-sensitive projects such as post-fire recovery and invasive species containment. Carr demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of their acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference ensures that contracting opportunities are exclusively available to small businesses, fostering economic development in rural communities and strengthening the agency’s reliance on agile, locally rooted vendors with proven expertise in federal land management support services. The primary technical domain for Carr’s procurements is NAICS 238910—Site Preparation Contractors—covering all phases of land clearing, grading, drainage installation, and road construction in forested and wilderness environments. Their procurement portfolio is highly specialized, focusing on heavy equipment operations, sediment control, and terrain stabilization services essential to ecological resilience and public safety initiatives on national forest lands.
