Tiffany Rook

Tiffany Rook supports the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service in executing landscape-scale stewardship contracts designed to advance ecological restoration and wildfire risk reduction. She plays a key role in structuring and managing complex, multi-objective procurements that integrate timber harvesting with watershed protection, trail maintenance, and habitat improvement. Her work aligns with the agency’s mission to promote sustainable forest management through collaborative, results-oriented contracting that balances resource extraction with long-term ecosystem resilience. Rook typically handles acquisitions under the Stewardship Contracting Authority, which allows for the exchange of goods and services to achieve mutual ecological and economic outcomes. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including BRINK BROTHERS INC., PEAK ENGINEERING LLC, AZ HAMMER DOWN, LLC, GABINO D GRANO, and GLADHART LLC. These partners are frequently engaged for field-based restoration services, heavy equipment operations, and civil infrastructure support on remote federal lands. Rook’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering reliability and technical expertise in executing high-complexity, multi-year stewardship projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the rural and forest-service-adjacent contracting community. While the majority of contracts are open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes small businesses capable of delivering integrated ecological services on challenging terrain. Rook’s primary focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), where she procures services such as fuel reduction, invasive species control, and forest thinning. She also engages NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) for trail, road, and erosion control infrastructure. Her technical expertise centers on ecological restoration contracting, with deep familiarity in the intersection of forestry operations, environmental compliance, and public land management.
