David McInnis

David McInnis serves as a Regional Appraiser for the U.S. Forest Service’s Southwestern Regional Office, where he provides critical real estate valuation and appraisal services to support land management and infrastructure projects across federal public lands. His role is integral to the agency’s procurement mission, ensuring accurate market-based valuations for land acquisitions, easements, right-of-way determinations, and facility expansions essential to trail, road, and visitor facility development. He primarily handles sole-source and competitive appraisals under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on properties used for conservation, recreation, and environmental stewardship. His expertise ensures compliance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and supports informed decision-making in real property transactions. McInnis maintains a consistent working relationship with GERMRIP LLC, a specialized real estate appraisal firm with deep experience in federal land valuations. His procurement pattern reflects a reliance on a single, highly qualified vendor with demonstrated technical proficiency in complex forest service properties, including remote, ecologically sensitive, and culturally significant tracts. This partnership is built on sustained performance, regulatory compliance, and subject-matter expertise rather than broad competition, reflecting the niche and technical nature of the services required. McInnis’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the specialized, non-competitive nature of professional appraisal services, where qualifications and USPAP certification outweigh traditional small business preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the selection process remains transparent and grounded in technical merit. His procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531320 (Offices of Real Estate Appraisers), indicating a narrow, high-specialization domain. He procures residential, commercial, and conservation land appraisals, boundary determinations, and eminent domain valuation reports. His technical expertise lies in valuing forested, riparian, and recreational lands under unique federal constraints, ensuring accurate assessments for land use planning and environmental compliance.
