Tyson Curran

Tyson Curran serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service, supporting the implementation of landscape-scale ecological restoration initiatives through strategic contracting. While not a primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating the execution of stewardship contracts that integrate timber harvesting with watershed protection, wildfire risk reduction, and infrastructure maintenance. His work ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to promote sustainable forest management through collaborative, multi-objective acquisitions that balance ecological outcomes with responsible resource utilization. Curran maintains consistent engagement 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 specialized services related to forest restoration, heavy equipment operations, and site-specific resource extraction. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with demonstrated experience in forested terrain operations, often requiring compliance with environmental regulations and complex logistics in remote areas. Curran’s contracting activity is fully aligned with the Forest Service’s commitment to small business participation, as all acquisitions under his purview are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize domestic small businesses capable of delivering ecologically sound, on-the-ground stewardship services, reinforcing the agency’s goal of building resilient local economies through federal procurement. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 212311 (Dimension Stone Mining and Quarrying), indicating a specialized need for stone, rock, and aggregate materials used in erosion control, trail construction, and stream crossing infrastructure. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with geologic sourcing, environmental permitting, and sustainable extraction practices, underscoring Curran’s expertise in procuring materials that directly support ecosystem resilience and public land maintenance.
