Roz J Layne

Rosalind J. Layne serves as a Procurement Technician for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to restore and sustain forest ecosystems across southern Oregon and northern California. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of critical goods and services essential to ecological management, including wildfire mitigation, invasive species control, and infrastructure maintenance. She handles a broad spectrum of procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with program managers to translate operational needs into compliant solicitation documents, contract modifications, and post-award administration. Her work ensures timely delivery of resources that support public safety, habitat recovery, and fire-adapted landscape initiatives. Layne maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LINVILLE ENTERPRISES, LLC, GRAYBACK FORESTRY, INC., and SPROUT FORESTRY INCORPORATED, all of which specialize in forestry support services and land management operations. She also collaborates regularly with S365 INC and LOGISTICS365 INC to secure specialized logistics and technical support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven field expertise in ecological restoration, trail maintenance, and wildfire response, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy strongly prioritizes small business participation, with over 62% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and additional allocations for HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. This reflects a deliberate commitment to economic inclusion and community resilience, aligning federal socioeconomic goals with on-the-ground conservation outcomes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing prescribed burning, vegetation management, and ecological monitoring. She also procures highway and bridge construction services (237310) and specialty trade contracting (238990) to maintain access roads and forest infrastructure, demonstrating technical fluency in civil and environmental contracting domains.
