Bryce Kamerdula

Bryce Kamerdula serves as a primary procurement lead within the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service, where he facilitates landscape-scale ecological restoration projects through strategic contracting. His role centers on executing stewardship contracts that integrate timber harvesting with watershed protection, wildfire risk reduction, and infrastructure maintenance—aligning with the agency’s mission to promote sustainable forest management. Kamerdula manages complex, performance-based acquisitions under FAR Part 37 and 16.5, often combining multiple work elements into integrated contracts that deliver both ecological and economic outcomes across national forest lands. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including BRINK BROTHERS INC., PEAK ENGINEERING LLC, AZ HAMMER DOWN, LLC, GABINO D GRANO, and GLADHART LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional specialty contractors capable of executing multi-disciplinary fieldwork, from trail and road construction to fuel reduction and erosion control. Kamerdula’s contracting approach emphasizes collaboration, long-term vendor reliability, and the ability to mobilize quickly across remote and ecologically sensitive areas. Kamerdula demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 93.3% of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. His procurement patterns consistently prioritize small, locally based firms with demonstrated capacity in environmental and construction services, reinforcing the Forest Service’s socioeconomic goals without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His primary industry focus lies in highway, street, and bridge construction (NAICS 237310), followed by commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and other specialty trade contracting (238990). He regularly procures site preparation, structural improvements, and architectural services to support forest infrastructure and restoration projects, demonstrating deep technical expertise in balancing ecological outcomes with civil engineering and construction delivery.
