Randy W. Lloyd

Randy W. Lloyd serves as a Contracting Officer for the Superior National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where he manages the acquisition of critical services and infrastructure projects essential to forest ecosystem management and wildfire resilience. His procurement portfolio centers on supporting the agency’s mission of sustainable land use, fuels reduction, and ecological restoration. Lloyd oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with strategic forest health priorities. He routinely handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions in environmental services, civil engineering, and professional technical support. Lloyd maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, most notably Blue Ribbon Redevelopment Fund III LLC, which provides specialized ecological and land management services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of executing large-scale vegetation management, mastication, and infrastructure maintenance under challenging field conditions. He fosters collaborative partnerships with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in forestry support, heavy civil construction, and environmental consulting, ensuring technical competence and operational reliability across remote and ecologically sensitive areas. His contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with over 40% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to economic inclusion. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, he strategically deploys HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) set-asides to support underserved communities and veteran-owned enterprises, aligning socioeconomic goals with operational needs. Lloyd’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), followed by highway and bridge construction (237310) and commercial building construction (236220). He specializes in acquiring services related to fuels reduction, trail and road maintenance, vegetation control, and ecological restoration, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with forest management practices and civil infrastructure requirements in federally protected lands.
