Aaron Olmos

Aaron Olmos serves as a key procurement lead within the Pacific Northwest Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, overseeing contract actions that enable operational resilience across remote and ecologically sensitive forest landscapes. Responsible for securing technical and administrative services critical to infrastructure maintenance, environmental stewardship, and field-level forest management, Olmos manages a portfolio of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain public lands through reliable, compliant contracting. His work primarily supports engineering, environmental consulting, and workforce training initiatives, ensuring that field operations have the technical and managerial support needed to uphold ecological integrity and public safety. Olmos maintains consistent relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TRIPLE C-THE A & E GROUP LLC, GREAT WEST ENGINEERING INC, GDM-AE, INC., THOMAS DEAN & HOSKINS INC, and TERRAPHASE ENGINEERING INC. These firms provide integrated engineering, environmental assessment, and land management support services tailored to the complex demands of federal forest lands. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and proven performance in challenging terrain, fostering reliability and continuity in mission-critical service delivery. Olmos’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and operational capability rather than socioeconomic designations, though small business participation may still occur organically through competitive bidding. His approach prioritizes mission effectiveness over mandated socioeconomic targets, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, high-performance contractors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), reflecting significant investment in workforce development and technical training for forest service personnel, and NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), underscoring his role in securing strategic planning, operational efficiency, and compliance support services essential to managing large-scale federal land operations.
