Jasmine Budrow

Jasmine Budrow serves as a Contracting Officer Representative for the USDA Forest Service’s Olympic National Forest, providing critical oversight on construction and infrastructure contracts that support the agency’s mission of ecological stewardship and public safety. In this role, she ensures contractor compliance with federal regulations, monitors performance against technical specifications, and facilitates communication between field operations and contracting teams. Her portfolio centers on heavy civil engineering, utility infrastructure, and facility construction projects essential to maintaining trails, restrooms, roadways, and sewage systems within the forest’s rugged terrain. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into enforceable contract requirements while upholding environmental and safety standards. Budrow collaborates closely with a network of qualified contractors specializing in civil works and institutional construction, fostering partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and environmental sensitivity. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in remote-site construction, hazardous tree removal, and resilient infrastructure development. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive coordination, rigorous performance evaluation, and a focus on long-term operational outcomes over short-term delivery. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Budrow consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 83.3% of her acquisitions designated for total small business contracting under FAR 19.5. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic equity, regularly awarding contracts to small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other qualified small entities capable of delivering specialized services in challenging environments. Her technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), with significant activity in commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and roofing (238160). She specializes in procuring complex infrastructure solutions for remote, ecologically sensitive areas—including trailhead facilities, wastewater systems, and structural enhancements that balance public access with ecosystem preservation.
