Andy Wilber

Andy Wilber serves as Project Manager for the Custer Gallatin National Forest, overseeing the planning, solicitation, and execution of critical infrastructure acquisitions across federally managed public lands. In this role, he ensures that construction and engineering projects align with the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to preserve ecological integrity while enabling safe, sustainable public access. Wilber manages a portfolio of complex civil engineering procurements, including trail and road maintenance, bridge rehabilitation, wildfire mitigation structures, and ranger facility upgrades. His work directly supports mission-critical operations by ensuring timely delivery of resilient infrastructure under challenging environmental and logistical conditions. Wilber maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including YOUNG GUN CONSTRUCTION LLC, TK3, LLC, and KOMMODITIES CORP, all of which have demonstrated proven capability in remote-site civil works and heavy construction. These relationships are built on reliability, technical expertise in forested terrain operations, and adherence to federal environmental compliance standards. He prioritizes vendors with experience in rugged, off-grid environments and emphasizes performance history, safety records, and compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Wilber’s procurement strategy is uniformly focused on small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity within rural and regional contractor communities, ensuring that federal infrastructure investments directly benefit small, locally based firms with relevant field experience. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), where he procures specialized services such as erosion control, culvert installation, timber bridge fabrication, and trail grading in sensitive wilderness areas. Wilber’s expertise centers on mission-critical civil works that require precise engineering solutions tailored to forested, high-elevation, and ecologically protected environments.
