Tom Moreland

Tom Moreland supports the U.S. Forest Service’s Csa East 9 unit in managing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with sustainable forest and grassland management. He oversees acquisitions for operational infrastructure, environmental analysis, and facility maintenance services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and agency priorities. His role centers on facilitating timely, compliant contract awards that enable ecological monitoring, invasive species control, and laboratory-based environmental research. Moreland typically handles service-based contracts requiring technical specificity and on-site implementation across remote federal lands. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including LIGHTBOX PARENT, L.P., LARKOS PACKING AND DISTRIBUTION INC., ELF'S LANDSCAPING INC, NELTS OF CT, LLC, and KYLLANDER, RICHARD. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized service providers capable of delivering document preparation, logistics support, and landscape management tailored to federal land use requirements. His contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established vendors with proven capacity to meet stringent environmental and safety standards in field-operational environments. Moreland demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged and locally rooted enterprises capable of supporting on-the-ground forest service operations. His procurement approach consistently leverages socioeconomic programs to enhance community engagement and build resilient, regionally based contractor networks. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561410 (Document Preparation Services), indicating a high volume of administrative, reporting, and compliance-related documentation support essential for forest health assessments and regulatory reporting. He also procures legal services under NAICS 541110, underscoring the need for contract compliance, environmental law consultation, and interagency coordination. These patterns reveal expertise in administrative and environmental service contracting within a complex, science-driven federal mission.
