Rebecca A Peabody

Rebecca A. Peabody serves as a Procurement Technician for the Tahoe National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to sustain forest health, enhance public safety, and maintain critical infrastructure across federal lands. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of goods and services essential to forest management, wildfire mitigation, and recreational infrastructure. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, coordinating with program managers, ensuring regulatory compliance with FAR and USDA guidelines, and managing the contract administration lifecycle for low-to-mid complexity procurements. She plays a vital operational role in translating field needs into actionable contracting actions that align with the agency’s strategic priorities. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Rebecca works closely with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in forestry support, civil construction, and facility services. Her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with contractors capable of delivering field-responsive, geographically dispersed services in remote and ecologically sensitive areas. She fosters collaborative relationships with firms experienced in working within federal land management environments, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical resources while adhering to environmental and safety standards. Rebecca demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of her procurements structured as open competitions (71.0%), yet she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (18.4%) and targeted opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (7.9%) and HUBZone firms (2.6%). Her approach reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while advancing federal goals for inclusive economic opportunity. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), indicating deep expertise in infrastructure maintenance and ecological restoration services. She also routinely procures janitorial services and temporary worker housing solutions (NAICS 561720 and 721310), underscoring her role in sustaining operational readiness across dispersed forest sites.
