Tracy Schilling

Tracy Schilling serves as a key procurement lead for the U.S. Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 9 office, overseeing the acquisition of specialized civil infrastructure services critical to maintaining public access and ecological resilience across national forest lands. Responsible for managing contracts under FAR Part 19 and other socioeconomic frameworks, Schilling focuses on facility rehabilitation, water system upgrades, road and bridge repairs, and visitor infrastructure maintenance. Their procurement portfolio is narrowly aligned with specialty trade contracting, ensuring that technical expertise in remote-site construction and environmental compliance is prioritized in every acquisition. Schilling maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of qualified contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, G.S. Bostic Painting LLC, and Camas Creek Contracting L.L.C., all of whom possess proven experience in remote forest service environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated capability in hazardous material handling, erosion control, and low-impact construction techniques. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring strict adherence to NFIP and NEPA standards, and favors vendors with prior experience on Forest Service projects. All acquisitions managed by Schilling are 100% set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust and unwavering commitment to small business participation. There is no use of large business set-asides or unrestricted competitions; every solicitation is structured to maximize opportunities for small, locally based firms with the technical capacity to operate in sensitive, off-grid environments. This pattern reinforces the agency’s mission to stimulate economic development in rural communities while ensuring high-quality infrastructure delivery. The primary NAICS code utilized is 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), encompassing a wide range of niche services including concrete restoration, waterproofing, trail construction, and historic structure rehabilitation. Schilling’s technical expertise lies in procuring highly specialized, non-standardized services that require site-specific engineering solutions, environmental mitigation, and compliance with USDA forestry regulations—ensuring that every contract supports both operational needs and ecological stewardship.
