Dallas D. Hoffer serves as a Contracting Officer within the USDA Forest Service, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical services and infrastructure support essential to the agency’s mission of sustaining national forest and grassland ecosystems. He oversees a diverse portfolio of procurements focused on ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and operational readiness in remote terrains, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. His acquisitions primarily support field operations, including forestry support activities, emergency response infrastructure, and technical services critical to forest health and public safety. Hoffer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group 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 blend of specialized professional services, workforce staffing solutions, and technical support tailored to the Forest Service’s unique operational needs. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, domain-specific expertise, and responsiveness to dynamic field conditions, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hoffer prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, which account for over half of his awards, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity among small, independently owned firms.
