David Wohler

David Wohler serves as a key procurement professional within the USDA Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain forest and grassland ecosystems through strategic acquisition of technical and operational services. He manages contracts centered on scientific testing, environmental analysis, and field-based laboratory services essential to forest health monitoring, wildfire risk assessment, and invasive species detection. His acquisitions directly enable field operations in remote terrains by securing specialized testing capabilities that inform ecological restoration and emergency response planning. Wohler’s work ensures that the Forest Service maintains operational readiness through reliable, science-driven data collection and analysis. Wohler maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These contractors provide niche expertise in environmental testing, laboratory services, and temporary scientific staffing, reflecting a preference for firms with proven capability in field-deployable analytical systems and regulatory-compliant data reporting. His procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability over broad competition, often leveraging established contracts to ensure continuity in mission-critical testing protocols. Wohler’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical competency and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor capability and domain expertise in highly specialized testing environments. While small business participation is not formally targeted, the nature of the services procured often naturally involves small, niche laboratories with specialized accreditations. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541380 — Testing Laboratories and Services — encompassing soil, water, air, and biological sample analysis, as well as field-based environmental diagnostics. He procures services that support compliance with federal environmental standards, including EPA and USDA protocols, and requires accredited labs capable of handling complex, high-volume sample processing in austere conditions. His domain expertise lies in ensuring the scientific integrity and defensibility of ecological data collected across national forests.
