Traci Davis

Traci Davis serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service–SPOC IM, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining the nation’s forest infrastructure. Her work centers on securing construction, engineering, and ecological support services that enable safe public access to federal forest lands through trail and road rehabilitation, bridge replacement, and campground modernization. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain resilient transportation networks and resource management systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and environmental stewardship standards. Davis maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including GCS LLC, ACME ASPHALT INDUSTRIES INC, and TwentyoneTwentyseven LLC, all of whom deliver specialized civil construction and land management services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships with firms possessing proven expertise in forested terrain operations, asphalt paving, and ecological restoration. These relationships are built on performance reliability and adherence to federal environmental and safety protocols, ensuring mission-critical infrastructure is delivered efficiently and sustainably. Her contracting strategy strongly prioritizes small business participation, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, locally based contractors capable of operating in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. She actively cultivates engagement with small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader goals of inclusive economic development in rural and forest-adjacent communities. Davis’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with significant activity in engineering services (541330), landscaping (561730), and forest nursery operations (113210). Her technical expertise spans civil infrastructure, ecological restoration, and forest resource management, ensuring acquisitions align with both engineering standards and environmental sustainability objectives.
