Greg Meador

Greg Meador serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA Northwest 3 office, overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining federal forest infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for transportation equipment and specialized support services essential to road and trail maintenance, wildfire preparedness, and ecological resource operations. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission of operational readiness and public safety. His portfolio is dominated by complex, mission-critical acquisitions requiring technical precision and logistical coordination. Meador maintains consistent contracting relationships with Hamilton Excavation LLC and Spring Fountain Studios LLC, both of which provide specialized equipment and support services tailored to forest land management. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized transportation systems and field-deployable technical solutions. These partnerships are characterized by long-term reliability, responsive service delivery, and alignment with the unique environmental and operational demands of federal forest lands. Meador demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting strategy prioritizes socioeconomic programs that empower small, locally-based firms with the capacity to operate in remote, high-risk environments. This approach not only fosters regional economic resilience but also ensures access to agile, community-informed vendors capable of rapid deployment in emergency or seasonal conditions. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336999—All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting a specialized need for custom-built, off-road, and all-terrain vehicles, trail maintenance machinery, and specialized forestry transport systems. These acquisitions support field operations requiring durability, low environmental impact, and adaptability to rugged topography. Meador’s expertise lies in bridging technical specifications with operational requirements, ensuring procured equipment meets the Forest Service’s rigorous safety and sustainability standards.
