Nicholas Vozzo

Nicholas Vozzo serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA East 11 office, supporting critical infrastructure initiatives essential to maintaining public access and ecological integrity in national forest lands. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and support service contracts focused on transportation networks, water systems, and forest management infrastructure. His work directly advances the agency’s mission to ensure safe, sustainable access to remote forest areas through strategic acquisition of civil works and land stewardship services. Vozzo routinely handles solicitations under FAR Part 36 for engineering and construction services, often coordinating with field personnel to align procurement timelines with seasonal operational windows. His primary contractor relationships center on Kiewit Infrastructure South Co., a leading civil construction firm with proven expertise in remote-area infrastructure projects. He maintains a focused, performance-driven partnership with this prime contractor while engaging a broader base of smaller vendors to support specialized tasks. Vozzo’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and logistical adaptability in challenging terrain, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory adherence. Vozzo demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 83.3% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 16.7% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, community-based firms capable of delivering targeted services in rural and forested regions. His contracting practices consistently prioritize vendor diversity and local economic impact. His technical domain expertise lies in NAICS 561730 (landscaping services), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 237110 (water and sewer line construction), and 115310 (forestry support activities). He procures a range of services including erosion control, trail and road rehabilitation, stream crossing installations, and construction material supply, demonstrating deep familiarity with the unique environmental and operational constraints of federal forest lands.
