Adam Haspiel

Adam Haspiel serves as a Fisheries Biologist with the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where he provides critical scientific expertise to inform ecological restoration and aquatic resource management acquisitions. His role bridges technical biological assessment with procurement strategy, ensuring that contracted services align with federal standards for habitat conservation, stream restoration, and fish passage improvement. He routinely supports the acquisition of ecological monitoring, stream surveying, riparian buffer establishment, and invasive species control services—activities essential to maintaining watershed health and complying with the National Environmental Policy Act. His input directly shapes the technical specifications and performance criteria in solicitations, ensuring scientifically sound outcomes. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Haspiel collaborates closely with a network of environmental consulting firms, aquatic resource specialists, and field technicians who deliver field-based ecological services. His procurement patterns emphasize vendor partnerships with proven expertise in fisheries biology, stream geomorphology, and habitat enhancement—particularly those capable of executing complex, site-specific fieldwork under challenging terrain and seasonal constraints. He maintains a collaborative, requirement-driven engagement model, prioritizing technical competence and regulatory compliance over cost alone. Haspiel’s contracting portfolio is fully committed to small business participation, with 100% of relevant procurements set aside under FAR 19.5 for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate local environmental service providers and strengthen regional economic resilience. His work consistently supports small, independent firms with demonstrated capacity in ecological fieldwork, many of which are certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to equitable contracting. His primary focus lies in NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—where he procures specialized ecological services including fish population surveys, spawning habitat assessments, telemetry studies, and water quality monitoring. His technical domain expertise centers on Pacific Northwest salmonid ecosystems, stream connectivity, and the integration of biological data into infrastructure planning, ensuring that all contracted work advances the Forest Service’s mission of ecological sustainability.
