Scott Remillard

Scott Remillard serves as a procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region, responsible for managing acquisitions that advance ecological restoration, wildfire resilience, and public land infrastructure maintenance. His role centers on executing contracting actions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain the health and productivity of national forests and grasslands. He routinely handles complex procurements for habitat restoration, invasive species control, reforestation services, and recreational facility maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship standards. His work directly supports field operations by securing specialized services and equipment critical to land management and public safety. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Remillard’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent approach fosters partnerships with locally rooted, socioeconomically disadvantaged vendors capable of delivering niche ecological and land management services. His contracting strategy emphasizes capacity building within underserved communities, encouraging collaboration with small businesses that bring regional expertise in forest ecology and public land operations. Remillard’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS code 112420 (Goat Farming), indicating a targeted use of grazing management as a sustainable tool for vegetation control, fire hazard reduction, and invasive species mitigation. This specialized application underscores his technical expertise in ecological engineering and non-chemical land management techniques. He procures services involving managed livestock grazing, pasture restoration, and animal husbandry contracts tailored to sensitive forest ecosystems, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of integrated pest and fuel management strategies. His work exemplifies a mission-driven procurement philosophy, leveraging socioeconomic contracting tools to achieve both environmental outcomes and community economic development.
