Roxanne D. Anderson

Roxanne Anderson serves as a Contract Specialist for the Mount Hood National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting sustainable forest management and infrastructure resilience. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for critical services such as forest road and bridge maintenance, equipment leasing, and ecological restoration support. She plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to preserve public access, ensure operational safety, and uphold environmental stewardship through compliant, transparent contracting practices. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Anderson consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in forestry support, heavy equipment leasing, and civil construction services. Her working relationships emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, particularly with firms possessing technical expertise in remote terrain operations and environmental compliance. She fosters partnerships with contractors capable of delivering responsive, mission-critical services under challenging field conditions, prioritizing reliability and regulatory adherence. Anderson demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes participation from Women-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and HUBZone small businesses, each receiving approximately 2.1% of award opportunities. This deliberate allocation reflects a strategic effort to expand economic opportunity within rural and underserved communities while strengthening the local contractor base essential to forest operations. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 532412 (construction and forestry equipment leasing), 115310 (forestry support activities), and 237310 (highway and bridge construction), reflecting the agency’s emphasis on infrastructure maintenance and ecological services. She routinely procures specialized services such as vegetation management, trail rehabilitation, and heavy machinery operation—all requiring technical proficiency in federal environmental standards and wilderness logistics. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of federal contracting regulations and the unique operational demands of managing a nationally significant forest landscape.
