Tracy Doud

Tracy Doud serves as a secondary procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of critical services. While not a primary contracting officer, Doud plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, coordinating with lead specialists, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Their work primarily supports operational readiness in remote and rugged environments, with a focus on healthcare, security, and educational support services essential to field personnel and emergency response teams. Doud contributes to the agency’s broader goal of maintaining workforce resilience and mission continuity across national forests and grasslands. Doud collaborates regularly 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 reliance on specialized staffing solutions, medical provider networks, and technical support firms capable of delivering services in geographically isolated areas. The working relationships are characterized by recurring engagements, often tied to temporary staffing needs, clinical support for remote outposts, and cybersecurity infrastructure maintenance—indicating a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal land management environments. Doud’s procurement activities reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 58.6% of contracts designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to prioritize small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, to enhance competition and support economic development in rural communities adjacent to federal lands. The consistent use of set-asides demonstrates alignment with agency-wide socioeconomic goals and federal mandates to broaden vendor diversity. The primary procurement focus centers on healthcare services, particularly NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians) and 621210 (Offices of Dentists), reflecting the agency’s need to provide on-site medical care for seasonal and remote workforce members. Additional activity in NAICS 621330 (Mental Health Practitioners) and 561621 (Security Systems Services) indicates a growing emphasis on behavioral health support and site security for high-traffic or sensitive forest service installations. Educational support services under NAICS 611710 further suggest involvement in training and workforce development initiatives tied to land management operations.
