Bryan Carter

Bryan Carter serves as Trails Coordinator for the USDA Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in managing and maintaining recreational and resource access infrastructure across federal forest lands. His responsibilities include planning, procuring, and overseeing the construction and rehabilitation of trail systems, signage, drainage structures, and related trailhead facilities to support public recreation, ecological restoration, and wildfire resilience initiatives. Carter’s procurement activities are aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest health and operational readiness in remote terrain, focusing on specialized construction and engineering services that ensure compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, primarily engaged in trail construction, specialized labor services, and technical support for field operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in rugged-terrain infrastructure, ecological compliance, and rapid-response maintenance capabilities, often deployed in high-priority, time-sensitive restoration zones. Carter demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic emphasis on empowering local and regional firms with the capacity to deliver specialized trail and land management services, reinforcing economic development in rural communities adjacent to federal lands. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 333120 — Construction Machinery Manufacturing — indicating a specialized need for heavy equipment, earthmoving tools, trail-specific machinery, and related maintenance systems essential for trail construction in inaccessible areas. His domain expertise lies in procuring durable, terrain-adapted equipment and services that meet rigorous forest service standards for sustainability, safety, and long-term operational viability.
