Eric Lundgren

Eric Lundgren serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining national forest infrastructure and ecological resilience. Responsible for managing contracts that support wildfire mitigation, habitat restoration, and public land maintenance, Lundgren ensures compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission of environmental stewardship. His portfolio primarily includes specialized construction and signage services essential to operational safety, visitor access, and resource management across high-use forest areas. Lundgren maintains collaborative relationships with a network of qualified small business contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, technical competency, and adherence to federal environmental and safety protocols. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect a consistent preference for firms with demonstrated experience in electrical installation and custom sign manufacturing for outdoor, high-durability environments. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Lundgren directs 100% of his eligible acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring maximum participation by small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms. His commitment to socioeconomic contracting reinforces the agency’s broader goals of community engagement and economic opportunity in rural and forest-adjacent regions. His technical focus centers on NAICS 238210 (electrical contractors) and 339950 (sign manufacturing), reflecting the region’s need for compliant electrical systems in remote ranger stations, trailhead facilities, and wildfire detection infrastructure, as well as durable, weather-resistant signage for visitor education and safety compliance. Lundgren’s expertise lies in procuring mission-critical, field-deployed solutions that meet rigorous environmental and durability standards under the National Environmental Policy Act and federal accessibility guidelines.
