Heath Perrine

Heath Perrine serves as a Technical Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for the USDA Forest Service, providing critical oversight of technical performance on mission-critical contracts supporting forest health, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains. In this role, he ensures contractor deliverables align with federal standards for ecological restoration, emergency response, and operational readiness. His responsibilities include evaluating technical compliance, monitoring contract execution, and coordinating between field operations and contractor teams to uphold safety and regulatory requirements. Perrine primarily supports acquisition categories involving specialty trade services and civil infrastructure, with a focus on projects requiring on-site execution in rugged, federally managed landscapes. Heath maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized trade execution, workforce mobilization, and technical support services tailored to the Forest Service’s operational tempo. His procurement patterns emphasize collaboration with vendors capable of rapid deployment, field-based technical expertise, and adaptability to dynamic environmental conditions, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in accountability and mission alignment. Perrine demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, consistently prioritizing Total Small Business Set-Asides and HUBZone Set-Asides, each accounting for 50% of his acquisition portfolio. This reflects a deliberate strategy to amplify participation from small, community-based firms with proven capacity in rural and underserved areas, aligning with federal mandates to promote equitable economic opportunity while enhancing local workforce engagement in federal land management efforts. His technical domain expertise centers on NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting his focus on site-specific infrastructure upgrades, trail and access road maintenance, erosion control, and emergency access restoration. He procures services requiring precision execution in ecologically sensitive zones, including grading, drainage, fencing, and temporary access systems—all critical to sustaining forest health and public safety across the National Forest System.
