Carrol J Jagger

Carrol D. Jagger serves as a Contracting Officer for the Tahoe National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, where she manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to forest stewardship, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience. Her procurement portfolio supports operational missions including trail and road maintenance, ecological restoration, and resource management, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and agency sustainability goals. She routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 19 and coordinates with field personnel to align procurement strategies with on-the-ground resource needs, emphasizing timely delivery of mission-critical services while upholding environmental and public safety standards. Jagger maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and specialized contractors in forestry support, civil engineering, and facility services. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms capable of delivering technical expertise in forest operations, equipment leasing, and environmental compliance services. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and vendor reliability, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate adaptability to remote, high-risk operational environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 45% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small businesses, particularly those with capabilities in forestry support and rural infrastructure services, aligning with the Department of Agriculture’s broader goals for equitable economic development in rural communities. Jagger’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561720 (janitorial and sanitation services for forest facilities), 115310 (forestry support activities), and 237990 (heavy civil engineering for trail and road construction). She also frequently procures specialized equipment leasing and maintenance services under 532120 and 336212, reflecting the agency’s need for reliable vehicle and trailer fleets to support remote field operations. Her technical expertise lies in managing contracts that bridge environmental compliance with logistical execution in sensitive ecological zones.
