Dave Jampolsky

Dave Jampolsky serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to advance ecological restoration and sustainable forest management. In this role, he provides technical oversight and contract administration for field-based forestry operations, ensuring contractor performance aligns with federal standards and agency objectives. His responsibilities include monitoring compliance with work plans, verifying deliverables related to forest health initiatives, and coordinating between field crews and contracting personnel. Jampolsky primarily supports acquisitions under the Support Activities for Forestry NAICS code, overseeing services such as prescribed burning, mechanical thinning, hand piling, invasive species suppression, and watershed restoration projects essential to reducing wildfire risk and improving ecosystem resilience. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Jampolsky maintains consistent working relationships with a network of specialized forestry contractors who possess field expertise in ecological restoration techniques. He fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in implementing complex, environmentally sensitive treatments under challenging terrain and seasonal constraints. His oversight emphasizes safety, regulatory compliance, and adaptive management practices aligned with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and Forest Service directives. Jampolsky’s procurement strategy reflects a strong, institutional commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference ensures opportunities for small, locally based forestry firms, including those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, to contribute meaningfully to federal land management goals. His contracting patterns prioritize equitable access and capacity building within the rural contracting community. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 115310, encompassing all facets of forestry support services. He procures specialized labor and equipment for fuel reduction, timber stand improvement, erosion control, and trail maintenance—services requiring hands-on ecological knowledge and adherence to silvicultural best practices. Jampolsky’s expertise lies in translating complex forest science objectives into actionable, contractually enforceable work statements that deliver measurable ecological outcomes.
