Donald J Wilcox

Donald J. Wilcox serves as a Technical Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the USDA Forest Service, providing technical oversight and contract administration for mission-critical acquisitions supporting forest health, wildfire response, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains. In this role, he ensures contractor performance aligns with operational requirements for ecological restoration, hazardous fuel reduction, and emergency logistics. His acquisitions primarily involve specialized transportation, field equipment, and site-specific resource management services, requiring deep technical understanding of field operations and environmental compliance. Wilcox acts as the primary technical liaison between program managers and contractors, ensuring deliverables meet federal standards for safety, sustainability, and operational readiness. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select 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 focus on niche service providers delivering specialized labor, logistics, and technical support tailored to the Forest Service’s unique operational environment. Wilcox’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with close monitoring of deliverables tied to mission outcomes rather than purely transactional procurement. Wilcox demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, ensuring that contracts are awarded to firms certified under small business programs, thereby supporting economic development in rural and underserved communities. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to leverage small business innovation while maintaining compliance with federal socioeconomic goals. His technical focus centers on NAICS 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local), which dominates his portfolio, reflecting the need for rugged, terrain-adapted transportation of equipment and personnel across federal lands. He also procures services under NAICS 212319 (Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying), indicating involvement in road maintenance, firebreak construction, and erosion control. This combination reveals expertise in logistics and land management support critical to sustaining forest infrastructure and emergency response capabilities.
