Stephen Morse

Stephen Morse serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical services and operational support. While his formal title is not publicly listed, his procurement activities center on enabling field readiness, emergency response, and ecological restoration initiatives across remote and rugged terrains. He routinely manages acquisitions for specialized labor, technical consulting, and mission-critical support services that directly enhance forest health, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience. His work ensures the agency maintains operational continuity in high-risk environments by securing timely, compliant, and mission-aligned resources. Morse maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche service providers offering workforce solutions, medical and field support personnel, and technical consulting tailored to federal land management operations. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for agile, responsive vendors capable of mobilizing personnel and expertise under dynamic field conditions, often in support of time-sensitive ecological or emergency response missions. A defining feature of Morse’s procurement approach is his exclusive reliance on Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All known acquisitions are structured to maximize participation by small businesses, ensuring that contracting opportunities directly benefit economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs and community-based service providers. This pattern reinforces the Forest Service’s broader mandate to foster local economic resilience through federal procurement. Though NAICS data is unavailable, the nature of his contracts indicates deep specialization in labor-intensive, mission-support domains—particularly personnel services for ecological monitoring, wildfire suppression support, medical readiness, and remote logistics coordination. His procurement portfolio reflects technical expertise in securing qualified field personnel and specialized contractors capable of operating in federally managed wilderness areas under demanding environmental conditions.
