Corse serves as a Contract Officer for the Fremont-Winema National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to maintaining ecological resilience and operational readiness across federal forest lands. Her portfolio centers on acquiring services and construction support that advance wildfire risk reduction, infrastructure integrity, and sustainable resource management. She handles a diverse range of acquisitions including engineering, surveying, vegetation management, and civil construction, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning contracts with the agency’s strategic land management goals. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Corse maintains consistent working relationships with firms specializing in forestry support, civil infrastructure, and land surveying services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure delivery of mission-critical services under challenging field conditions. She routinely engages with vendors possessing specialized expertise in forest ecosystem management and rural infrastructure maintenance. Corse demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on broad small business participation. HUBZone set-asides account for over 7% of her awards, and she consistently includes service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses in her sourcing strategy, aligning with federal priorities to promote equitable economic opportunity in rural and forest-dependent communities. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), underscoring her technical expertise in managing infrastructure and ecological services essential to forest health. She regularly procures surveying, engineering, and vegetation management services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical requirements of federal land stewardship and the specialized capabilities needed to execute them safely and sustainably.
