Brian L.Wasson

Brian L. Wasson serves as a Contract Specialist with the USDA Forest Service, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and operational readiness across federal lands. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in environmental stewardship and emergency response. He routinely manages service-based contracts for specialized support functions, particularly those requiring rapid deployment in remote or high-risk environments. Wasson maintains consistent working relationships with a focused set of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on niche service providers delivering workforce solutions, medical support, and technical consulting tailored to the unique demands of federal land management operations. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment over volume, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in performance and responsiveness. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Wasson consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Aside provisions under FAR 19.5, with approximately 85.7% of his awards designated for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, prioritizing opportunities for small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and veteran-owned firms that bring agility and local expertise to forest service operations. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), reflecting the Forest Service’s need for environmental sanitation and facility support services in remote field stations and seasonal work camps. These categories reveal his specialized expertise in procuring essential, non-mission-critical but operationally vital services that sustain workforce readiness and compliance with federal environmental and health standards on public lands.
