Arik Jorgensen

Arik Jorgensen serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 7 office, supporting the operational integrity of national forest infrastructure across remote and rural landscapes. Responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain forest ecosystem stewardship and public access, Jorgensen specializes in contracting for maintenance, equipment leasing, and facility resilience services. Their procurement portfolio is centered on ensuring reliable transportation assets, functional facilities, and responsive maintenance capabilities, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to preserve public lands through dependable operational support. Jorgensen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Nehemiah Construction LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Peterson Plumbing Supply, and Reliance Contractors Inc., all of which provide specialized services in construction, site development, plumbing, and infrastructure maintenance. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and experienced vendors capable of operating in challenging terrain and under demanding environmental conditions. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local expertise, and long-term performance over transactional engagements. Jorgensen demonstrates a robust and exclusive commitment to small business participation, with 100% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on empowering small, locally rooted enterprises to deliver critical services to federal lands, fostering economic resilience in rural communities while ensuring responsive, mission-aligned contracting outcomes. The procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 532490—Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing—reflecting a technical domain expertise in acquiring heavy equipment, temporary infrastructure assets, and specialized machinery essential for forest maintenance, wildfire response, and trail management. This specialization ensures the agency accesses mission-critical equipment without capital expenditure, optimizing operational flexibility and resource efficiency across vast, inaccessible territories.
