Roger Finney

Roger Finney serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Deschutes National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where he manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to sustaining forest ecosystems and public infrastructure. His role centers on executing compliant, mission-driven procurements that align with the agency’s priorities in wildfire risk mitigation, trail maintenance, habitat restoration, and cultural resource protection. Finney handles a broad spectrum of non-construction acquisitions, primarily supporting operational needs through service contracts and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring all purchases adhere to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards and environmental stewardship goals. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Finney maintains consistent partnerships with vendors who specialize in ecological services and logistical support, fostering long-term relationships with firms capable of delivering responsive, on-site solutions across remote forest terrain. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and the ability to scale operations during peak seasonal demands, such as fire season or post-storm recovery efforts. Finney exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his eligible acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This unwavering focus ensures maximum participation from small businesses, including those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, and reflects the agency’s dedication to community economic development alongside environmental stewardship. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), which encompasses vegetation management, erosion control, and native plant restoration—core activities vital to forest health. He also frequently procures specialized equipment and supplies under NAICS 423450, including tools and materials for trail maintenance and field operations. This dual specialization underscores his technical expertise in ecological service delivery and operational logistics within a federal land management context.
