Olivia Roe

Olivia Roe supports the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service in advancing landscape-scale ecological restoration through strategic procurement. She facilitates acquisitions that integrate timber harvesting with watershed protection, wildfire risk reduction, and infrastructure maintenance, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission of sustainable forest stewardship. Her work centers on managing complex, performance-based contracts that require technical coordination across multiple resource disciplines, including silviculture, erosion control, and trail rehabilitation. These procurements are designed to deliver long-term ecological outcomes while supporting rural economies through local labor and materials. Roe maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including BRINK BROTHERS INC., PEAK ENGINEERING LLC, MILLER TIMBER SERVICES, INC., AZ HAMMER DOWN, LLC, and DENNIS KIRBY. These vendors are recognized for their expertise in forest restoration services, heavy equipment operations, and ecological site rehabilitation. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term partnerships with firms possessing proven capacity in executing multi-year, landscape-level stewardship projects under flexible, results-oriented contract structures. Roe’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over certification-based eligibility, ensuring the highest likelihood of mission success on complex, high-stakes restoration efforts. While small businesses are not formally targeted through set-asides, many of her contractors are small or mid-sized firms with deep regional roots and specialized field expertise. Her primary focus is on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing services such as fuel reduction, prescribed burning, road decommissioning, and non-timber forest product harvesting. She specializes in procuring integrated ecological restoration packages that require technical precision, environmental compliance, and adaptive management—ensuring outcomes that enhance forest resilience and public safety.
