Hayden Boll

Hayden Boll serves as a secondary procurement contact within the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable forest management through integrated ecological restoration and resource management contracts. While not the primary contracting officer, Boll plays a critical role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of stewardship-based acquisitions that align forest thinning, watershed protection, and infrastructure maintenance with wildfire risk reduction goals. Their work primarily supports complex, landscape-scale contracts that combine timber harvesting with non-timber ecological services, ensuring compliance with federal stewardship contracting authorities under Title 16 U.S.C. § 2104. Boll regularly collaborates with a core group of contractors including BRINK BROTHERS INC., PEAK ENGINEERING LLC, AZ HAMMER DOWN, LLC, GABINO D GRANO, and GLADHART LLC, all of which possess specialized capabilities in forest restoration, heavy equipment operations, and watershed infrastructure. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in field-based ecological work, often requiring site-specific knowledge of forested regions and compliance with NEPA and environmental permitting frameworks. The working relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagement rather than transactional procurement. All acquisitions managed under Boll’s support are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to maximizing opportunities for small business participation in federal stewardship efforts. There is no use of other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—consistent with the branch’s exclusive focus on broad small business eligibility to ensure competitive, community-based engagement. The primary NAICS code utilized is 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), underscoring a technical focus on aquatic ecosystem restoration, streambank stabilization, culvert replacement, and irrigation infrastructure tied to forest health projects. This specialization highlights expertise in procuring services that bridge forestry and hydrologic management, requiring contractors with dual competencies in civil works and ecological restoration.
