Greg Wilde

Greg Wilde supports the procurement operations of the Sierra National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, ensuring that critical land management and ecological stewardship activities are enabled through timely and compliant contracting. He manages acquisitions focused on maintaining forest infrastructure, including trail and road systems, snow removal operations, and facility upkeep, with an emphasis on services that enhance public safety and environmental resilience. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes in alignment with federal regulations, particularly those governing environmental and operational support services within national forest lands. Wilde maintains a consistent working relationship with LAKESHORE RESORT, LLC, a primary vendor delivering landscaping and grounds maintenance services essential to forest visitor access and ecological balance. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of operating in remote, ecologically sensitive environments under seasonal constraints. These relationships are built on reliability, adherence to environmental compliance standards, and the ability to scale operations across diverse terrain within the Sierra Nevada region. He demonstrates a strong and exclusive commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within rural and regional communities while ensuring contract performance by firms with local knowledge and adaptive capacity. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses that meet the criteria for service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, and HUBZone firms, aligning with broader USDA socioeconomic goals. Wilde’s procurement portfolio is entirely concentrated under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing vegetation management, erosion control, invasive species mitigation, and seasonal maintenance of recreational and access infrastructure. His technical expertise lies in acquiring services that support ecological restoration, wildfire fuel reduction, and public land accessibility, requiring deep familiarity with USDA Forest Service environmental protocols and interagency coordination standards.
