Peggy Dobie serves as a key procurement professional within the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustainably manage public lands through strategic acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and specialty trade contracts, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and agency priorities in transportation, utility maintenance, and facility resilience. Her acquisitions primarily support field operations, including road and bridge maintenance, utility upgrades, and facility improvements across Colorado’s forested and grassland ecosystems, with a strong emphasis on compliance, environmental stewardship, and operational readiness. Dobie maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including KLINGLER ASPHALT LLC for pavement and roadway construction, NORTHERN PURCHASE SERVICES, LLC for materials procurement and logistics, and GRANT GOV CONNECT LLC for specialized government contracting support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments and a capacity to deliver under challenging field conditions. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, safety compliance, and timely execution, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence. Dobie demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to ensure equitable access for small, locally based firms, reinforcing the agency’s dedication to community engagement and economic development in rural Colorado. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, reflecting a deliberate strategy to strengthen regional economic resilience through federal procurement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), followed by 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with additional activity in commercial building, plumbing, heating, and masonry trades. She specializes in procuring infrastructure services that enhance public safety, maintain access to remote forest areas, and support wildfire mitigation and resource management operations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal construction standards and land-use constraints.
