Eric Jensen

Eric Jensen serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, specifically supporting the Intermountain Region 5 office under agency code 1240LQ. He manages acquisitions critical to maintaining the ecological and operational integrity of national forest lands, with a focus on infrastructure remediation, wildfire response support, and reforestation initiatives. His procurement portfolio centers on specialized maintenance and restoration services, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards and mission-critical land management objectives. He routinely handles service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in environmental restoration, hazardous material handling, and ecosystem rehabilitation, aligning acquisitions with the Forest Service’s strategic goals of sustainability and resilience. Jensen maintains a consistent working relationship with TETRA TECH, INC. and ALLIED ENGINEERING SERVICES INC., both of which provide engineering, environmental consulting, and field remediation services essential to forest health projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in ecological restoration, hazardous waste management, and infrastructure maintenance on federal lands. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term vendor relationships to ensure continuity in complex, multi-year environmental initiatives. A defining feature of Jensen’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All awarded contracts are reserved for small businesses, fostering opportunities for disadvantaged, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms to participate in critical federal land stewardship efforts. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to build capacity within the small business community while ensuring competitive, high-quality service delivery. His procurement activity is narrowly focused on NAICS 811121—Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair and Maintenance—indicating a specialized need for vehicle and equipment maintenance services to support field operations. This includes the repair and upkeep of off-road vehicles, fire suppression units, and utility vehicles used in remote forest environments, reflecting deep technical expertise in fleet sustainment for rugged, high-use federal assets.
